Table 2.

Chromosome analysis of hamster spermatozoa that were frozen‐stored; separated by sonication in TCM199, TBS + EGTA, or TBS + Ca; and then injected into mouse oocytes

Medium used for storage and sonication No. of zygotes analyzed No. (%) of oocytes with normal sperm chromosomes No. of spermatozoa with chromosome aberrations
Structural* Aneuploidy
TCM199 58 40 (69.0)b 18 0
TBS + EGTA 58 52 (89.7)a 6 0
TBS + Ca 50 34 (68.0)b 16 0

TBS + EGTA, 100 mM Tris‐HCl–buffered solution +50 mM EGTA; TBS + Ca, 100 mM Tris‐HCl–buffered solution +2 mM CaCl2 .

Significantly different values (P < 0.05) between different superscripts. Percentages of oocytes with normal sperm chromosomes were analyzed by Fisher's exact probability test and chi‐square test.

*

Structural chromosome aberrations included chromosome/chromatid‐type breaks and exchanges.
