Bovine Semen Metabolism. V. Influence of Incubation Temperature on Certain Measures of Fructolysis

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Twenty bull semen samples were used to determine the effects of incubation temperature and length of incubation period on fruetolysis.Split ejaculates were incubated at 27, 37, and 47 ° C. and fructose utilizations were determined at 60, 120, and 180 rain.Increase in temperature of incubation resulted in increased utilization, but had no effect on the fruetolysis coefficient (Ku).For every 1 ° C. increase in incubation temperature, there was a 4.22% increase in fructose utilization and a 3.84% increase in maximum fructose utilization (NFU).The role of fructose as a rate-limiting factor was suggested
