Biochemical components of stallion seminal plasma before nad after the breeding season
Kazimierz Kosiniak-Kamysz | Anna Bittmar
English. Seasonal and breed differences were determined for glyceryl-phosphoryl-choline (GPC), ergothioneine (EGT), fructose and total protein in the seminal plasma of 24 stallions from three breed groups. Significant differences were found between the GPC, EGT, fructose and total protein levels before and after the breeding season. During the post-breeding period, the concentrations of EGT, fructose and total protein increased more than 100% while that for GPC decreased by about 50%. This phenomenon was found in each of the breed groups investigated. | Breed differences in the GPC level during the pre- and post-seasonal period were not significant. Differences were found only during the pre-seasonal period in EGT, fructose and total protein levels.
