Abstract
- Trabajo presentado en el 3rd International Workshop on Biology of Fish Gametes, celebrado en Budapest del 7 al 9 de septiembre de 2011.<br />Changes in the plasma membrane lipid composition during cryopreservation have been related to a decreasein sperm quality (Muller et al., 2008). In the present work we tested the addition of antifreeze proteins(AFPs) to the cryopreservation extender because of their ability to depress the freezing point and their potential interaction with membranes<br />This work was supported by the project Petri (PTR 95.1026.OP.01). J. Beirão was supported by a PhD grant from the Portuguese Ministry of Science and Technology (SFRH/BD/31990/2006) co-foundedby POPH - QREN (FEDER and MCTES).
