Cryoprotectants and cryoprotective effect in cryopreservation of gamete cells

Abstract

Cryoprotectants used in freezing of gamete cells provide protection from cold shock and the other damages during freezing. Due to toxic effects of cryoprotectants, studies about them have been concentrated on it, and toxic effects have been tried to reduce by external cryoprotectants added. Optimum adding rates of cryoprotectants become peculiar to species and require determination of some parameters of cell membrane. Determinating of physiological and functional traits in cryopreserved-thawed cells have provided progress in cryobiological studies

Kryoprotektanlar ve gamet hücrelerinin dondurulmasında kryoprotektif etki

Abstract

Gamet hücrelerinin dondurulmasında kullanılan koruyucu maddeler (kryoprotektanlar) soğuk şoku ve donma esnasında gelişen diğer hasarlara karşı koruma sağlarlar. Kryoprotektanların hücrede toksik etkiye sahip olmaları, bu maddeler üzerindeki çalışmaları yoğunlaştırmış, ortama katılan eksternal kryoprotektanlarla, toksik etkimeler azaltılmaya çalışılmıştır. Kryoprotektanların optimum katım oranları türe özgü olmakta ve bazı hücre membran parametrelerinin bilinmesini gerektirmektedir. Dondurulançözdürülen hücrelerin fizyolojik ve fonksiyonel özelliklerinin anlaşılması ile kryobiyolojik çalışmalarda gelişme sağlanmıştır
