Boar semen proteomics and sperm preservation

Recently numerous proteomic approaches have been undertaken to identify sperm and seminal plasma (SP) proteins that can be used as potential biomarkers for sperm function, including fertilization ability.

Description
Summary:Recently numerous proteomic approaches have been undertaken to identify sperm and seminal plasma (SP) proteins that can be used as potential biomarkers for sperm function, including fertilization ability. This review aims firstly to briefly introduce the proteomic technologies and workflows that can be successfully applied for sperm and SP proteomic analysis. Secondly, we summarize the current knowledge about boar SP and the sperm proteome, focusing mainly on its relevance to sperm preservation procedures (liquid storage or cryopreservation) and their outcomes in terms of sperm function and fertility.
