F. aThe influence of some fractions of egg yolk on the survival of ram spermatozoa at 5oC.h[electronic resource] c1975 aAbstract: Ram spermatozoa were stored at 5 degrees C in diluents containing various fractions of egg yolk prepared by dialysis, ultrafiltration and ion-exchange chromatography. They survived storage best in the presence of components of egg yolk which were non-dialysable and were not filtered through membranes which retained substances of molecular weight greater than 100 000. The substances isolated in peak B of the ion-exchange chromatogram of whole egg yolk described by Seideman et al. (1969) gave greater protection than those from other fractions from this chromatographic system. These data indicate that the low-density lipoprotein fraction of egg yolk is the most likely source of protection to ram spermatozoa against the effects of storage at 5 degrees C. aChromatography aEgg yolk aRams aReproduction aSheep aSpermatozoa aOvino aReprodução aSêmen aSobrevivência aTecnologia aSemen diluents1 aMARTIN, I.
