Fig. 6: Effect of different extenders on pentose phosphate pathway in boar sperm.
From: Succinylation regulates boar sperm linear motility via reprogramming glucose metabolism
Boar sperm were treated with HG extender, LG extender, HG + 3 mM SA, or LG + 100 μM RES for 3 h to evaluate NADPH levels (a), 6PGD activity (b), and G6PD activity (c), compared with the control (FS). Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). a-d: Significant differences (p < 0.05) between treatments. FS fresh semen, HG high glucose, LG low glucose, RES resveratrol, SA succinic acid, NADPH nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, 6PGD 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, G6PD glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
