The fine structure of spermatid differentiation in the mussel, Mytilus edulis, Linn

Creator:

Longo, Frank J., 1939-

Abstract:

The spermiogenesis of Mytilus edulis (a marine mussel) has been studied, employing techniques of light and electron microscopy and cytochemical preparations. The observations trace the development of the acrosomal complex, the nucleus, the mitochondrial middle-piece, and the flagellum. In early spermatids numerous membrane-bounded proacrosomal vesicles arise from several Golgi complexes...

Flow cytometric evaluation of spermatozoan nuclear chromatin structure and viability

Creator:

Ballachey, Brenda Elizabeth

Abstract:

I. Frozen bovine semen samples were measured by flow cytometry (FCM) to determine if FCM analyses could be useful for sperm quality evaluation and prediction of bull fertility. Fluorescent dyes utilized were acridine orange, to measure sperm nuclear chromatin heterogeneity by quantifying susceptibility of the chromatin to denaturation, and rhodamine...
