Abstract:

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 media (Bioxcell). Materials and Methods: Bioxcell was supplemented with different concentration of MnTE. Sperm membrane integrity, motility, viability and acrosomal status were assessed after freezing. Optimized concentration of MnTE was defined and used to assess fertilization and developmental potential. Results: 0.1μM MnTE significantly improved membrane integrity while 0.01μM MnTE significantly improved acrosmal integrity post thawing. Addition of 0.01μM MnTE also improved blastocyst formation rate. Conclusion: Supplementation of commercially optimized cryopreservation media with MnTE further improves the quality of goat frozen semen sample and may have important consequence of future embryo development. This effect may be attributed to cell permeable behavior of this antioxidant which may protect sperm genome from ROS, DNA-induced damage.

P-32: Effect of Culture Condition and Cell-Permeable Superoxide Dismutase on Reactive Oxygen Species of In vitro Sheep Embryos

Background: This study was carried out to evaluate the pattern of reactive oxygen species (ROS) variations during in vitro oocyte maturation and embryo development in sheep, and to investigate whether embryo culture condition and the presence of cell-permeable superoxide dismutase mimetic [Manganese (III) meso-tetrakis (4-benzoic acid) porphyrin (MnTBAP)] can influence ROS pattern. Materials an...

A review on goat sperm cryopreservation

The ability to cryopreserve spermatozoa from all of the domestic species is challenging. Even though all of the cells must endure similar physical stresses associated with the cryopreservation processes, sperm from the different species are very different in size, shape and lipid composition, all of which affect cryosurvival. Thus, when a cryopreservation protocol has been optimized for sperm o...

Tempol, a Superoxide Dismutase Mimetic Agent, Inhibits Superoxide Anion-Induced Inflammatory Pain in Mice

The present study evaluated the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of the superoxide dismutase mimetic agent tempol in superoxide anion-induced pain and inflammation. Mice were treated intraperitoneally with tempol (10-100 mg/kg) 40 min before the intraplantar injection of a superoxide anion donor, potassium superoxide (KO2, 30 μg). Mechanical hyperalgesia and thermal hyperalgesia, paw ede...

Mechanism of superoxide dismutase loss from human sperm cells during cryopreservation.

Earlier studies on human sperm cryodamage have shown that plasma membrane stress is the primary process and that phospholipid peroxidation in cryopreserved samples is not inhibited by addition of antioxidants. One consistent effect of cryopreservation is loss of enzymatic activity of the peroxidation defense enzyme, superoxide dismutase (SOD). To clarify this aspect of the freeze-thaw process a...
