title: A new poultry semen extender. 5. Relationship of diluent components to cytotoxic effects of dimethylsulfoxide on turkey spermatozoa.
abstract: The relationship of components of the Beltsville Poultry Semen Extender (BPSE) to the cytotoxic effects of 4% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) on turkey spermatozoa was studied. Fertilizing capacity was depressed by the omission of any buffer (TES or potassium phosphates) or neutral salt (citrate, acetate, chloride), whereas omitting fructose or sodium glutamate had no significant effect.
