Alterações no perfil esparmático e constituição histológica dos testículos de coelhos sob a influência do aumento transitório da temperatura testicular

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the sperm profile of rabbits, evaluating concentration, motility vigor and incidence of sperm with changes in the compaction of genetic material (pathologies of the DNA protein complex), under normal conditions and under the influence of the transient increase in temperature testicular. Eight fertile rabbits were used evaluating the parameters of 3 ejaculates on alternate days and then the animals were subjected to an increase in testicular temperature for 3 days, collecting semen samples on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for 38 days for analysis. . Every 5 days a rabbit underwent orchiectomy for histological evaluation of testicles and epididymis.
