Abstract:

Background: This study was carried out to evaluate the protective effects of a cell permeable antioxidant, Manganese (III) meso-tetrakis (N-ethylpyridinium-2-yl) porphyrin chloride (MnTE), alone or in combination with different concentration of Catalase on motility of frozenthawed goat semen. Materials and Methods: Fresh semen ejaculates were collected with artificial vagina from 3 goats, mixed and divided into four equal fractions, and diluted (1:20 v/v) with commercial extender, Bioxell®, containing no antioxidant (control), 0.1μM of MnTE, 0.1μM MnTE + 200 IU Catalase and 0.1μM MnTE + 400 IU Catalase. All diluted sperm suspensions were cooled to 5 °C for 2 hours followed by transfer into 0.5 ml French straws before being stored in liquid nitrogen. The straws were removed from the liquid nitrojen and thawed individually by immersion in a water bath at 37◦C for 30 second. Motility of spermatozoa in each sample was individually evaluated by Camputer Assisted Sperm Analyzer. Results: The results showed that combination of two antioxidants in freezing media for goat semen cryopreservation, improved sperm motility following thawing. Accordingly, total motility was higher in 0.1μM MnTE + 200 IU Catalase (41.11%) and 0.1μM MnTE + 400 IU Catalase (44.92%) groups which was significantly higher than those for control (31.57%) and 0.1μM MnTE (32.56%) groups. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that semen extender supplemented with MnTE in combination with Catalase can improve sperm motility due to reducing the oxidative stress provoked by freeze/thaw processes.

“Short Paper” Application of Gamma Irradiation to Increase the Motility and Viability of Bovine Sperm after Freezing and Thawing

This study was conducted to determine the suitable dose of gamma rays for increasing sperm motility and viability after thawing and to assess its effects on malondialdehyde concentration and the rate of sperm DNA strand breaks. Sperm samples in liquid nitrogen were irradiated at doses of zero, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 Gy. The sperm quality and quantity parameters were evaluated before and aft...

Effect of antioxidant on sperm freezing

A major cause of male infertility, which includes 50 causes of infertility, is oxidative stress.  The aerobic respiration in the sperm cell is associated with the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Some reactions such as sperm capacitation and acrosome reactions require moderate levels of ROS. However, when the amount of ROS production surpasses the natural antioxidant defense of the ...

P-65: Low-Density Lipoproteins Extractions on Boar Spermatozoa Quality Following Freezing–Thawing

Background Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) is known to protect boar sperm during freezing–thawing, but little information is known about the effects of LDL extracted from different avian egg yolks on post-thaw boar semen quality. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the effects of LDL at various concentrations and different species on boar sperm quality after freezing–thawing. Ma...

P-78: Supplementation of Sperm Cryopreservation Media with Cell Permeable Superoxide Dismutase Mimetic Agent (MnTE) Improves Goat Blastocyst Formation

Background: ROS production is a well-established phenomenon during sperm cryopreservation. Therefore, supplementation of freezing media with antioxidant is an inevitable event. The aim of this study was to assess whether a cell permeable superoxide dismutase agent such as MnTE, can further improve the quality of frozen/ thawed semen sample using a commercially optimized sperm cryopreservation m...

Freezing and thawing or freezing, thawing, and aging effects on beef tenderness.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of freezing and thawing or freezing and thawing with an additional aging period after frozen storage on the tenderness of longissimus lumborum (LL) and semitendinosus (ST) steaks relative to aged, fresh steaks. Left-side LL and ST (n = 35 each) were obtained from U.S. Select carcasses classified at the grading stand by the U.S. Meat Animal...
