Cholesterol Improves Cold Shock Resistance
Increasing Sperm Membrane Cholesterol Improves Cold Shock Resistance and Cryosurvival in Stallions Stallion sperm are inherently sensitive to cold shock due to a low cholesterol-to-phospholipid membrane ratio (0.38–0.45), compared to cold-shock-resistant species such as humans and rabbits (0.88–0.99). This study investigated how much cholesterol supplementation — delivered via cholesterol-loaded cyclodextrins — is required to protect stallion sperm from… Read More: Cholesterol Improves Cold Shock Resistance »
