Gel filtration of a conditioned medium composed of the supernatant fluid removed from a 5-day culture of skeletal muscle cells from 9-day-old chick embryos with Bio-Gel P-2 revealed one peak of motility-prolonging activity (about 0.3 kDa), which was not present in fresh medium. Spermatozoa incubated in this fraction of the conditioned medium maintained their motility for at least 36 h at 37 degrees C. Both the formation of lipid peroxide and the leakage of lactic dehydrogenase of spermatozoa incubated in the conditioned medium fraction were lower than those incubated in the corresponding fresh medium. Initial rate of oxygen consumption of the spermatozoa incubated in the conditioned medium fraction increased compared with that of the fresh medium fraction. These results suggest that a low molecular weight factor(s) supplied by cultured cells effectively prolongs the motility of fowl spermatozoa, and that the effect could result from inhibition of the structural damage to the sperm membrane.

Maintenance of motility of fowl spermatozoa in vitro is prolonged by a low molecular weight factor derived from cultured chick embryo cells
