Abstract
Background: Cryopreservation of sperm cells is a well-established technique. However, cryopreserved sperm cells can have significant cellular damage, primarily due to oxidative stress.
Objective: To investigate the synergistic effects of vitamin C with vitamin E-loaded cyclodextrins on the quality of cryopreserved bull sperm cells in combination with cholesterol-loaded cyclodextrins.
Materials and methods: The ejaculates from nine mature bulls were divided into six equal aliquots for different treatments, including vitamin C (VitC), vitamin E loaded cyclodextrin (CD-VitE), CD-VitE+VitC, cholesterol loaded cyclodextrin (CD-CHL), CD-CHL + CD-VitE + VitC and the control. The sperm motility (CASA), membrane integrity (HOST) and lipid peroxidation (TBARS) were assessed after freezing and thawing.
Results: The combination of CD-CHL + CD-VitE + VitC retained the highest sperm motility and membrane integrity, as well as resulted in the least lipid peroxidation.
Conclusion: The study shows the synergistic effects of vitamin C, vitamin E and cholesterol in improving the cryopreservation outcomes of bull sperm. https://doi.org/10.54680/fr25410110312.
期刊介绍:
A bimonthly international journal for low temperature sciences, including cryobiology, cryopreservation or vitrification of cells and tissues, chemical and physical aspects of freezing and drying, and studies involving ecology of cold environments, and cold adaptation
The journal publishes original research reports, authoritative reviews, technical developments and commissioned book reviews of studies of the effects produced by low temperatures on a wide variety of scientific and technical processes, or those involving low temperature techniques in the investigation of physical, chemical, biological and ecological problems.
