Abstract:Protein factors have been identified in the seminal plasma of fish and mammal species and, in some situations, associated to sperm quality indicators. However, for jundiá fish (Rhamdia quelen), such factors and those potential associations remain unknown. In the present study, we aimed to identify some protein factors present in the seminal plasma of jundiá fish and to evaluate their association to sperm motility. SDS-PAGE was used to identify 14 bands, with molecular weight ranging from 217.1 to 7.1 kDa.Sperm… Show more
