The fertility potential of cryopreserved semen from bulls has been intensely studied, even so, there is still no understanding of all the processes that are involved in the success of fertilization, among which the sperm capacitation stands out. Due to the high condensation of DNA, spermatozoa are inert to transcription and translation processes and depend on transcripts acquired during s…
The bull semen has several molecules not yet described. Among them are the microRNAs, recognized as fundamental for fertilization and early embryonic development. However, there are few studies evaluating the profile of seminal miRNAs and fertility in cattle. The study hypothesis is that miRNAs present in semen are associated with fertility. For this, the study aims to investigate the miR…
After semen deposition in the reproductive tract occurs an inflammatory response that causes a systemic reaction called acute phase response characterized by the production of acute phase proteins. In addition, the metabolic and hormonal profile of the animal influences their reproductive functions so the study of them can assist in the evaluation of herds with different productive and re…
The aim of this experiment is to evaluate the effect of the semen extender containing Pentoxifylline on sperm characteristics, the uterine clearance and fertility rate, as well as effect of the artificial insemination with different quality semen on the uterine blood flow and fertility rate. Semen samples will be assessed using a protocol of fluorescent probes combination: PI, FITC-PSA e …

Cryopreservation of equine semen, despite having several benefits, has some limitations. Therefore, the choice of the diluent to be used in the technique is crucial to protect the sperm during the process. In this sense, myo-inositol has been studied as a component that improves sperm quality, bringing metabolic and morphological benefits to the sperm. However, there are still gaps in ful…
Endometritis is one of the main causes of infertility in mares and may be associated with oxidative stress (OS), characterized by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body's antioxidant mechanisms. The deposition of semen in the uterus causes an inflammatory response that, in susceptible mares, becomes exacerbated and may evolve into the so-called persistent post-bre…
The most important obstacle in equine reproduction today is infertility in mares, which is mainly related to inflammation of the endometrium. After mating, a natural inflammatory response occurs in the mare's uterus, which can become exacerbated, leading to the accumulation of intrauterine contents, compromising fertility rates. One of the treatment methods for this condition is the use o…

The liver is an important organ for metabolism and homeostasis, affecting all systems and has a considerably impact of the individual's energetic, hormonal and immunomodulatory function. The occurrence of equine persistent post-breeding endometrits (PPBE), the third most common condition in horses and the most important in terms of fertility, is strongly associated with the animal's syste…
Endometritis in mares is the main cause for infertility, therefore making its diagnosis so important. Acknowledging that acute phase proteins (APP) can be used as markers for inflammatory processes, those could help in early diagnosis of post-breeding endometritis in mares and thus allow decisions for treatments toward better fertility rates. Literature reviews are sparse and inconclusive…
Sperm must undergo a series of biochemical events during transport through the female's reproductive tract in order to be able to fertilize the oocyte. These events culminate in sperm modifications that characterize sperm capacitation; in view of the importance of this event for the fertilization of the oocyte, there is therefore a need for new forms of sperm evaluation that can detect th…

Complementary to the current Post-doctoral FAPESP fellowship (2017/03622-3) we herein present a proposal for an abroad research internship at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies. The main of the study is twofold: first, to determine whether Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids modulate bovine endometrial cell function in vitro; second, to determine whether dietary supplementation…
World-wide 50% of human infertility is due to male infertility problems. Thus, assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), such as testicular sperm extraction and aspiration, are employed to overcome these infertility problems. However, recent reports indicated that the employment of ARTs may be associated with an increased in the incidence of congenital malformations and epigenetic defect…
