Abstract:

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 additivesincluding 100 U and 200 U SOD/ml, 50 U or 100 U GPx/ml and an extender containing no antioxidants(control) and stored in liquid nitrogen. The pooled ejaculates were then diluted with CEY or a Tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (TRIS)-based extender (TEY) alone or with added 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 or 4.0 mMBHT, and the routine semen evaluation was conducted. The lowest production of malondialdehyde (MDA)was obtained by addition of 100 U SOD/ml, 0.5 and 1 mM BHT to CEY extender compared with the othergroups. Sperm viability and motility was significantly higher when 0.5, 1 mM BHT and 100 U SOD/ml wereadded in CEY extender. The highest sperm viability was achieved by addition of 50 U GPx/ml to CEYextender. In addition, sperm motility was significantly higher in samples extended in Tris-egg yolk (TEY)with 0.5 mM BHT compared with the control group. The results suggest that CEY extender can be improvedwith the addition of SOD and BHT.

Effect of various levels of catalase antioxidant in semen extenders on lipid peroxidation and semen quality after the freeze-thawing bull semen

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 dilute...

Effect of boar semen senility on peroxidation of semen lipids.

T HE livability of stored bull spermatozoa is decreased by aerobic agitation (Prince and Almquist, 1948). Hydrogen peroxide has been implicated in defects of motility, livability and metabolism in spermatozoa of various species (MacLeod, 1943; VanDemark et al., 1949; Tosic and Walton, 1950; Wales et al., 1959). Investigations not involving spermatozoa have demonstrated that exogenous hydrogen p...
