A avaliação de espermatozoides em tecnologias de reprodução assistida raramente analisa a integridade do DNA, crucial para o desenvolvimento embrionário. A técnica do azul de toluidina permite identificar alterações da cromatina com avaliação concomitante da morfometria espermática. O método foi descrito em diversas espécies, mas ao conhecimento dos autores, ainda não foi relatado em gatos. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a aplicabilidade da técnica de coloração de azul de toluidina em avaliar as anormalidades de DNA de espermatozoides epididimários (cabeça, corpo e cauda) de gatos. Investigar ainda se houve correlação entre as variáveis: condensação do DNA, morfologia e morfometria da cabeça espermática. Para este propósito, os índices de alteração de DNA obtidos pela técnica de azul de toluidina e laranja de acridina foram comparados, observando correlação de 65,38% (p
Sperm selection in assisted reproductive technologies rarely evaluates the DNA integrity, which is crucial to the embryo’s development. The toluidine blue technique allows identification of chromatin alterations, simultaneously with evaluation of sperm morphometry. The method has been described in many species, but to the authors’ knowledge, it has yet to be described in cats. The objective of this study was to verify the applicability of the toluidine blue technique in analyzing DNA abnormalities of epididymal sperm (caput, corpus and cauda) in cats and further investigating if there was correlation between the variables: DNA condensation, morphology and morphometry of the sperm head. For this purpose, the DNA alteration indexes obtained by both toluidine blue and acridine orange techniques were compared and a 65.38% (p < 0.001) correlation was observed. The chromatin stability increased significantly in the head region of the epididymis (92.06%) in relation to the cauda (97.94%, p = 0.0023), however there was no difference between the caput and cauda regions, which demonstrates that sperm coming from these region are already mature. There was no correlation between the DNA abnormality and the sperm morphology as observed in other species, however there was correlation to morphometry. A significant decrease of the sperm head size was observed during the passage of the three epididymal regions (p < 0.0001). The percentage of sperm with deficient chromatin condensation decreased significantly from caput region to cauda of the epididymis (26.36%, 15.69%, 3.38%, respectively, p < 0.0001). Therefore, the evaluation of sperm head size can predict the quality of chromatin condensation.
