Knowledge of testicular physiology and spermatogenesis are essential for the study of germ line stem cells, which are of great<br />
practical value in neoplasms or endangered animals, to safeguard their germ line. In this sense, the Cavia porcellus can be of great importance<br />
in animal experiments (Snitkoff. In: Gennaro, A.R.. Remington: a ciência e a prática da farmácia. 20.ed. RJ: G. Koogan, 2004. p.556-68). Our<br />
objective was to investigate the development of testicular parenchyma of C. porcellus, evaluating the progress of the process of lumination of the<br />
testicular cords. Thirty males from the UNIVASF vivarium – Petrolina- PE were used and divided into six experimental groups with five animals<br />
each, within the age of three, five, six, seven, eight and eleven weeks. After fixation and subsequent histological processing of the testicles, were<br />
analyzed: the process of seminiferous tubule lumination, the presence of primary spermatocytes, spermatids and the formation of the early stages<br />
of the seminiferous epithelium cycle (SEC) according to the tubular morphology method. Animals were classified in stages of testicular<br />
development (Courot et al. In: Johnson et al. (Eds.) The testis. NY and London: Acad. Press, 1970. v.1, p.339-432). With three weeks formed<br />
gaps of varying sizes even though many testicular cords had persisted with vacuolization in the central cytoplasmic mass and had appeared early<br />
primary spermatocytes and round spermatids, featuring the pre-pubertal testicular development. Within five weeks there was seminiferous<br />
tubules formed with elongated spermatids, indicating the puberty stage. However this process occurred asynchronously, verifying testicular<br />
cords in different stages of vacuolization between the seminiferous tubules already with lumen. After six to seven weeks the tubular lumen was<br />
extensive and after eight weeks there was the expansion of the tubular lumen associated with cell proliferation in the seminiferous epithelium and<br />
the increase of testicular volume and weight, indicating the post-pubertal stage, with spermatogenesis showed itself established and the presence<br />
of associations of the stages of the (SEC). We conclude that in the C. porcellus the period of three weeks of age corresponded to the pre-puberty<br />
stage, five to seven weeks of the puberty stage, and from 8 to 11 weeks of post-puberty.<br />

N<br />
Ten semen samples of five rams of the Santa Ines breed were cryopreserved with the objective of verifying the use of cryoprotectants<br />
glycerol and dimethyl formamide alone (GL6% e DF3%) or in different levels of association (GL5%+DMF1%, GL4%+DMF2%,<br />
GL3%+DMF3%, GL2%+DMF4% e GL1%+DMF5%). The base extender was the Tris-egg yolk (TRIS). After evaluation, the semen was<br />
diluted in the different extenders, cooled to 5°C and afterward the samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen vapour. After the thawing, the kinetic<br />
sperm parameters were analyzed (total motility-TM, progressive motility-PM and sperm vigor-VIG). Aliquots were collected for the supravital<br />
test dye eosin (EOS); the sperm morphology was analyzed and the percentage of bent tails (BT) calculated. The functional integrity of the<br />
plasmatic membrane was studied by osmotic shock (OS) followed the dilution: One part semen to 10 (OS 10) parts of the final solution with<br />
deionized water. After the diluted semen incubation for five minutes at 37°C, it was fixed with 10 µL of formaldehyde buffered saline. The<br />
percentage of reactive spermatozoa to OS was determined by subtracting the percentage of spermatozoa with OS-induced BT, by the BT obtained<br />
after thawing. These evaluations were observed in phase contrast microscopy (1000x) and one hundred cells were analyzed per semen<br />
sample.All the statistical analyses were performed using the SAS software version 5.0 (1996) (Proceeding MEANS and GLM with P < 0.05).<br />
The means (%) of post-thaw TM, EOS and OS were, for the GL6%: 78,0 a ; 44,8 and 42,2; DF3%: 47,0 b ; 41,4 and 33,6; GL5%+DMF1%: 73,0 a ;<br />
37,8 and 37,7; GL4%+DMF2%: 73,0 a ; 48,2 and 47,4; GL3%+DMF3%: 71,0 a ; 43,4 and 44,4; GL2%+DMF4%: 52,0 b ; 40,4; 39,0 and<br />
GL1%+DMF5%: 43,0 b ; 31,8 and 47,6.It was observed greatest (P < 0,05) rates of TM and PM for the extenders GL6%, GL5%+DMF1%,<br />
GL4%+DMF2% and GL3%+DMF3% in relation to the groups with higher levels of DMF (GL2%+DF4% e GL1%+DF5%) or when this one<br />
was alone (DF3%). Despite the wide numerical variations, the rates of EOS, OS and BT did not differ (P > 0,05) among the groups. It can be<br />
concluded that the DMF and GL association was effective for the sperm viability maintenance, although high levels of DMF, or in the absence<br />
of GL, it had deleterious effect on post-thaw ovine sperm. [Financial support. FAPESB- Brazil].<br />
