“…In addition decrease in oxidative stress parameters by increasing boron doses was detected. On the contrary, in the studies conducted on humans who live in boron-rich regions, there is neither a negative effect on reproductive system nor semen (5,21,30).…”

Summary:In this research, post-thaw effects of bull semen extenders including different amounts of boron (sodium pentaborate) on total motility (TMOT), progressive motility (PMOT), kinetic parameters of spermatozoa (VCL, VSL, VAP, LIN, STR, WOB, ALH, BCF), plasma membrane and acrosome integrity (PMAI) and DNA fragmentation index (DFI) were evaluated. Eight ejaculates were examined from four different bulls. Each ejaculate was split in to five aliquots and extended with standard Tris extender (Control) and 0.4 g boron with 0.5 g glucose (Group 1) 0.5; 0.7; 0.9 g boron without glucose (Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4 respectively) were used as experimental groups. After thawing TMOT, PMOT, kinetic traits of spermatozoa, PMAI and DFI were determined. According to motility and progressive motility (66.04%, 50.79%), Group 1 had higher values than the others, but differences between groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The highest values of VSL, LIN, STR and WOB were determined (28.15 µm/s, 42.98%, 71.69%, 59.71%) in Group 1 (P<0.05). While other kinetic traits of spermatozoa were higher numerically in Group 1 than the other groups, differences between groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The highest PMAI value was determined as 60.84% in Group 1 (P>0.05). The DFI rates were found similar in all control and experimental groups (P>0.05). In conclusion, it was observed that the boron (sodium pentaborate) has positive effects on post-thaw movement and structural traits. In addition, boron has no detrimental effect on DNA fragmentation index in semen freezing. Thus, boron could be used as an alternative semen extender compound.Keywords: Bull semen, CASA, flow-cytometry, frozen semen, sodium pentaborate. Boğa

“…Frequently, the high boron concentration in the injection seawater for a desalination process can exceed the standards for drinking water. Studies on boron, its mechanism, and heath effects show that 112 mg/kg body weight is an acute poisoning hazard; it is a main cause of gastrointestinal tract abnormalities [56,57]. Animal experiment have revealed the risk and/or impact and/or toxicity results from food boron intake that exceeds the standards set by law.…”

Boron is one of the important elements that have a cell-growth suppressing effect. The apoptotic effects of B 2 O 3 that were investigated in rats on liver regeneration following 70 % partial hepatectomy (PH). Wistar albino male rats were used and divided into 4 groups (n = 7). The Saline control groups were given only a single dose of saline; the B 2 O 3 -treated groups that were only given a single dose of 1800 mg.kg -1 B 2 O 3 by means of intraperitoneal injections following hepatectomy. Three and 6 hours after surgical procedures, all the groups were dissected and liver tissue samples were taken from the groups for NF-κB for caspase-3 gene and protein levels investigation by RT-PCR and TaqMan Protein Assay and histological analyses by TUNEL assay. B 2 O 3 -treated animals were examined and it was observed that NF-κB levels were decreased; however, caspase-3 gene expression and protein levels were increased signifi cantly. This study demonstrated that B 2 O 3 induces caspase-3 and inhibits NF-κB at the early stage of liver regeneration (Fig. 4, Ref. 26). Text in PDF www.elis.sk.
