abstract

the objective of this study was to evaluate effect of different concentrations of catalase in two extenders on motility, viability and lipid peroxidation bull spermatozoa during semen freezing process. thirty ejaculates collected from ten holstein bulls were pooled and evaluated at 37 °c. pool ejaculated was split into two main experimental groups, 1 and 2. in experiment 1, specimen was diluted to a final concentration of 30 × 106 spermatozoa with citrate-egg yolk and in experiment 2; specimen was diluted with tris-egg yolk extender to the same concentration. in both experiments diluted semen was divided into three aliquots, including a control and two test groups. each aliquot was rediluted with an equal volume of extender either without (control) or with one of the antioxidants contained one of the following antioxidants: catalase (cat; 100 iu ml-1) catalase (cat; 200 iu ml-1) and control group. no significant differences were observed in sperm viability and motility following addition of catalase enzyme at concentration of 100 iu ml-1 and 200 iu ml-1 to citrate-egg yolk extender. but the highest sperm viability was achieved by addition of 100 iu ml-1 and 200 iu ml-1 catalase to tris-egg yolk semen extender compared with the control group (p < 0.05). malondialdehyde levels did not change with addition of catalase in both extenders compared with the control group. the obtained results provide a new approach to the cryopreservation of bull semen, and could positively contribute to intensive cattle production.

The effect of antioxidant supplementation in semen extenders on semen quality and lipid peroxidation of chilled bull spermatozoa

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the antioxidants superoxide dismutase (SOD),glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) on microscopic semen parameters andlipid peroxidation following the freeze-thawing of bull semen. Ejaculates were collected from five Holsteinbulls and pooled at 37°C. The semen samples were diluted with a CEY extender containing addit...

Effect of Antioxidant D-Aspartic Acid and Thawing Rate on the Freeze-Thawing Process of Ram Semen

The study was conducted to determine the influence of D-aspartic acid (D-Asp) as antioxidant supplement and thawing rates on ram sperm motility, membrane integrity, abnormality, viability, mitochondria activity, malondialdehyde and antioxidant activities, and total antioxidant capacity after freezing-thawing process. Semen samples from five mature rams (3-4 years old) were diluted with extender...
