The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of PAF addition on selected motility characteristics and plasmalemma integrity of boar spermatozoa following liquid storage in a boar semen extender, Kortowo-3 (K-3), supplemented with lipoprotein fractions extracted from hen egg yolk (LPFh) or lyophilized lipoprotein fractions extracted from ostrich egg yolk (LPFo), at 5°C and 16°C. Sperm motility was evaluated using a computer system (CASA). The determination of AspAT activity in sperm extracts as well as fluorescent analysis, with a fluorochrome, Hoechst 33258, were used to assess the plasmalemma integrity overlying the middle-piece and acrosomal regions of spermatozoa, respectively. It was confirmed that the addition of exogenous PAF to K-3 extender containing LPFh or LPFo had a beneficial effect on the sperm quality parameters during storage at 5°C or 16°C. This phenomenon was manifested by an increase in motility and survivability of spermatozoa. The use of LPFh or LPFo as a component of boar semen extender had a protective effect on the plasmalemma integrity overlying the middle-piece and acrosomal regions of PAF-treated spermatozoa.
