✦ Synopsis

The effects of storage of hamster sperm in vitro a t temperatures above freezing on fertilization and early development were studied. Initially, female hamsters woere 5seminated y-tificially with epididymal sperm stored up t o five days at 5 , 16 , or 23-25 C. Eggs were examined at the pronuclear stage for evidence of fertilization. The best conditions for the storage of hamster sperm were found t o be 16Β°C in a 5% C 0 2 in air gas phase. Pre-and postimplantation development were then assessed following insemination of females with sperm stored at 16OC. An increased frequency of eggs with three pronuclei, a decrease in the number of pregnant females, and an increase in the number of resorption sites were found with increasing sperm storage time. Chromosome mosaicism and triploidy were encountered in 9.5-day embryos resulting from eggs fertilized by stored sperm. No chromosome abnormalities were found in a control group of embryos. Thus, storage of hamster epididymal sperm resulted in decreased fertility and an increased frequency of abnormal development.

## Abstract Hamster epididymal spermatozoa were isolated in the caput, corpus and cauda regions for one, two and three days. Sperm suspensions from these regions were assessed for morphology, motility, viability; and for fertility by A.I. The ability to capacitate was tested by checking for acrosom

Turkey sperm were exposed to 2.45-GHz microwave radiation in a temperature-controlled waveguide apparatus. Temperature was maintained at either 25 or 40.5 "C. The sperm were exposed for 30 min at a specific absorption rate (SAR) of 10 or 50 mWig. Following irradiation, the sperm were used to insemin
