Differential expression of sperm capacitation-associated microRNAs in fresh and cryopreserved bovine semen

Key Points

• Cryopreserved bovine semen shows significant differences in sperm capacitation-associated microRNAs, highlighting potential fertility impacts.
• MicroRNAs associated with sperm capacitation were found to be differentially expressed between fresh and cryopreserved bovine semen samples.
• Analysis of gene expression profiles demonstrated notable variations tied to sperm functions post-cryopreservation in bovine.
• These findings imply that adjusting cryopreservation techniques may improve semen quality and fertilization rates.
