ResumenEn este breve ensayo, trataremos de analizar el efecto Mozart en los niños y en personas adultas. Intentaremos entender por qué algunas personas afirman que cuando escuchan las composiciones de Mozart se sienten relajados y desarrollan más su inteligencia. Además analizaremos los espectros de frecuencia de diferentes tipos de música, para determinar conclusiones propias de este interesante efecto.
Glycerol (Gly) is the cryoprotective agent (CPA) most widely used to cryopreserve rooster semen. However, its cryoprotection, toxicity, and efficacy may vary in different breeds of roosters (e.g.,fighting rooster). In this sense, this investigation evaluated the effect of different concentrations of Gly added to the Lake-Ravie extender on the kinetic variables and plasma membrane integrity (PMI, equivalent to viability) of rooster spermatozoa. A total of 42 semen ejaculates from 6 Spanish fighting roosters (collected in 7 weekly sessions) by dorsal massage technique were used to conform 7-pools. Each pool was divided into 6-aliquots and then 6 treatments were formed according to Gly concentrations: 0 (control), 2% (Gly-2), 4% (Gly-4), 6% (Gly-6), 8% (Gly-8), and 10% (Gly10). The samples were frozen in static liquid nitrogen vapors, and their post-thaw sperm quality was analyzed using the CASA system (SCA-2018®) and Fluorescence (PI). Results after thawing showed that total (MT, %) and progressive (MP, %) motilities were higher (P<0.01) with the Gly-8 treatment compared to the control group and the Gly-4 and Gly-6 treatments. Regarding the postthaw kinetics, the oscillation (WOB, %) and the beat-cross frequency (BCF, Hz) were higher (P < 0.05) in the Gly-6, Gly-8, and Gly-10 treatments compared to their control. Finally, the PMI (%) was greater with the Gly-8 treatment compared to the Gly-2 treatment (P<0.05) and the control group (P<0.01). In conclusion, the addition of 8% glycerol to the freezing medium produced better sperm cryosurvival based on higher kinetics and integrity of the plasma membrane of fighting rooster spermatozoa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
