Abstract
Reproductive biomarkers are important regulators in women, especially during pregnancy and childbirth. Because of their essential role in women's health, the discovery and quantification of reproductive biomarkers is of great clinical importance. Nowadays, there are many detection strategies to detect these biomarkers, including VEGF, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), etc. Consider the limitations and problems of conventional diagnostic methods, new methods are being developed, one of the most important being methods based on nanotechnology. This review includes a review of methods for diagnosing reproductive biomarkers, ranging from mainstream to nanotechnology-based methods. The bulk of this article is an in-depth introduction to the latest advances in biosensor and nanosensor research for the detection and quantitative identification of reproductive biomarkers.

The cryoprotective effect of Guar gum co-supplemented with ethylene glycol and glycerol in Simmental bull semen. Anim Reprod Sci 2023; 259:107362.

Abstract
Sperm cryopreservation often reduces sperm quality by forming of intra- and extracellular ice crystals. Various compounds widely used to counteract this effect. The guar gum was considered as an extracellular cryoprotective substance. The present study evaluated the impact of the co-supplementation of guar gum with ethylene glycol or glycerol in the cryopreservation of bull sperm. Four ejaculates from 4 bulls were pooled and divided into ten groups consisting of 4 controls (glycerol 6%, ethylene glycol 6%, glycerol 3.5%, and ethylene glycol 3.5%, and six treatment groups including guar gum in 0.001% and 0.002% alone and or co-supplemented either with 3.5% glycerol or 3.5% ethylene glycol and frozen in liquid nitrogen. The sperm motility, viability, plasma membrane and DNA integrity, apoptotic-like changes, antioxidant capacity (TAC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities evaluated. The groups contained 3.5% glycerol + 0.001% guar gum, 3.5% ethylene glycol + 0.001% guar gum, and 0.001% guar gum alone showed higher values for live sperm, antioxidant enzymes, membrane integrity, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), fertilization, cleavage, and blastocyst rates; and lower values for apoptotic-like changes, H2O2 level, and DNA damage than the control groups. In conclusion, adding guar gum to the bull sperm diluent either alone or combined with glycerol or ethylene glycol ameliorated sperm viability and kinematic parameters and antioxidant capacity while reducing DNA damage and apoptotic-like changes. Guar gum also has improved embryo development. Due to its cost-effectiveness and physicochemical properties, guar gum is a promising supplement for bull sperm cryopreservation.
