Generally, the percentage of spermatozoa which generated nitric oxide gradually increased, while NO level in the surrounding medium declined during the liquid preservation. NO generation in semen preserved in BTS was higher as compared to those in Androhep®Plus. We demonstrated the positive correlation between the NO level in fresh spermatozoa and their quality. We also showed negative correlation between nitric oxide level in spermatozoa preserved in BTS and sperm cells motility as well as plasma membrane integrity. Results obtained in this study confirm that NO may affect sperm physiology in a dualistic manner.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Relation between nitric oxide (NO) level in semen and certain properties of boar spermatozoa stored at 17°C}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/106884/PDF/26.pdf}, doi={10.24425/122612}, keywords={nitric oxide, liquid storage, boar spermatozoa quality}, }
