Resumo
O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a eficiência das técnicas de inseminação artificial intra-vaginal (IAIV) e intra-uterina (IAIU) com sêmen congelado/descongelado em gatos domésticos através da taxa de prenhez. O ejaculado de dois gatos adultos foi colhido com vagina artificial e o sêmen avaliado para motilidade (CASA), morfologia espermática e integridade de membrana plasmática. Após diluição em meio TRIS/OEP (4% de glicerol), as amostras foram envasadas em palhetas francesas de 0,25 mL (25 x 106 de espermatozóides móveis) as quais, após 20 minutos à 5ºC, permaneceram por 15 minutos em vapor de nitrogênio líquido, sendo posteriormente mergulhadas. Para cada IA, quatro palhetas do mesmo gato foram descongeladas por 12 segundos à 46ºC e centrifugadas a 250xg por 8 minutos. O pellet ressuspendido em 100 æL do meio foi analisado como descrito anteriormente. Nas gatas, o estro e a ovulação foram induzidos com 100 UI de eCG e, após 84 horas, 100 UI de hCG. Após 30 horas da indução da ovulação, as gatas foram inseminadas pelo método intra-uterino ou intra-vaginal, com o sêmen obtido do gato A ou B (n=8 gatas para cada método de IA). Para a análise estatística os testes de Tukey e de Wilcoxon foram utilizados para as variáveis de qualidade espermática, enquanto o teste de Fisher foi usado para comparar os métodos de IA, estabelecendo diferença significativa quando p<0,05. Embora tenha sido observada uma queda acentuada de motilidade, integridade de acrossomo e integridade de membrana plasmática nas amostras seminais descongeladas de ambos os gatos, um índice de prenhez de 75% foi alcançado quando utilizado o método de IA intra-uterino, contra 0% com o método intra-vaginal.
The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of the intravaginal and the intrauterine artificial insemination methods using domestic cat frozen/thawed semen by determining the pregnancy rate. The sperm was collected from two tom cats using an artificial vagina and the samples were assessed for motility (CASA), sperm morphology and plasma membrane integrity. After dilution with TRIS/OEP (4% of glycerol), the sperm samples were loaded into 0.25 mL straws (25 x 106 of sperm cells presenting motility) which, after 20 minutes under 5ºC, were placed in liquid nitrogen vapour for 15 minutes, being afterwards immersed. For each AI, four straws from the same male were thawed during 12 seconds at 46ºC and centrifuged at 250xg for 8 minutes. The pellet was ressuspended in 100 æL of the extender and analyzed as described above. In the queens, estrus and ovulation were induced using 100 UI of eCG and, after 84 hours, 100 UI of hCG. After 30 hours from the ovulation induction, the females were inseminated by the intrauterine or by the intravaginal methods, using the semen obtained by male A or B (n=8 females for each AI method). For statistical analysis the Tukey test and the Wilcoxon test were used for the sperm quality results, while the Fisher test was used to compare the two AI methods, with p<0.05 taken as significant. Although a pronounced decrease in motility, acrosome integrity and plasma membrane integrity were observed for the sperm samples from both cats, a pregnancy rate of 75% was achieved when using the intrauterine AI method, against 0% with the intravaginal AI method.
