The water transport response during freezing of sperm cells of Morone chrysops (white bass, WB) was obtained using a shape-independent differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) technique. Sperm cell suspensions were frozen at a cooling rate of 20 degrees C/min in two different media: (1) without cryoprotective agents (CPAs), or (2) with 5% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO). For calculations, the sperm cell was modeled as a cylinder of length 24.8 mu m and diameter of 0.305 mu m, while the osmotically inactive cell volume (V-b) was assumed to be 0.6 V-o, where V-o was the isotonic or the initial cell volume. By fitting a model of water transport to the experimentally determined water transport data, the best fit membrane permeability parameters (reference membrane permeability to water, L-pg or L-pg[cpa] and the activation energy, E-Lp or E-Lp[cpa]) were determined, and ranged from L-pg = 0.51-1.7 x 10(-15) m(3)/Ns (0.003-0.01 mu m/min-atm), and E-Lp = 83.6-131.3 kJ//mol (20.0-31.4 kcal/mol). The parameters obtained in this study suggest that the optimal rate of cooling for M. chrysops sperm cells is -22 degrees C/min, a value that compares closely with experimentally determined optimal rates of cooling (similar to 16 degrees C/min).
