Effect of sugar type on the survival of frozen-thawed rhesus monkey (macaca mulatta) sperm
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to investigate the effect of glucose, lactose, and raffinose separately or in combination on the cryosurvival of rhesus monkey spermatozoa. It is concluded that glucose and lactose have better protective effects than raffinose for preserving sperm motility, plasma membrane function, and acrosome integrity; and raffinose was detrimental to the acrosome integrity of rhesus monkey spermatozoa.

Comparative studies with six extenders for sperm cryopreservation in the cynomolgus monkey (macaca fascicularis) and rhesus monkey (macaca mulatta)
Article Abstract:
Ejaculated spermatozoa from cynomolgus monkeys and rhesus monkeys were frozen in straws with six different extenders (TTE, DM, mDM, LG-DM, G-DM, and TCG) containing glycerol. Spermatozoa cryopreserved with TCG, whether for the cynomolgus or rhesus monkeys, moved much faster than that of other extenders, and this rapid sperm movement is similar to that of spematozoa being capacitated.
