Abstract

Cinnamaldehyde, a component of cinnamon bark extract, acts as a potential antioxidant by enhancing the activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in various cell and animal models. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of cinnamaldehyde on the quality of Kajli ram sperm at 4°C and after freezing. Semen samples were obtained from 12 Kajli rams through an artificial vagina maintained at 42°C. Each ejaculate was divided into five aliquots and extended in a tris-citric acid extender with different concentrations of cinnamaldehyde (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.5% and 5.0%). Post-thaw semen quality was assessed. These results showed that the extender containing 0.5% cinnamaldehyde exhibited significant protective effects (p < 0.05) on post-thaw sperm plasma membrane and sperm viability compared to the control and other experimental groups. In conclusion, supplementing the extender with 0.5% cinnamaldehyde effectively preserved the quality of post-thawed sperm from Kajli rams.

精液膨化剂中添加肉桂醛提高Kajli公羊精液解冻后精子质量的研究。

肉桂醛是肉桂树皮提取物的一种成分，它通过提高过氧化氢酶、超氧化物歧化酶和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶在多种细胞和动物模型中的活性而发挥潜在的抗氧化剂作用。本研究旨在评价肉桂醛对Kajli公羊精子在4℃和冷冻后质量的保护作用。12只Kajli公羊的精液样本通过保持在42°C的人工阴道获得。每个射精被分成五等分，并在含有不同浓度肉桂醛（0%、0.5%、1.0%、2.5%和5.0%）的三柠檬酸扩展剂中扩展。评估解冻后精液质量。结果表明，与对照组和其他试验组相比，添加0.5%肉桂醛的膨化剂对解冻后精子质膜和精子活力有显著的保护作用（p < 0.05）。综上所述，添加0.5%肉桂醛的膨化剂可以有效地保持Kajli公羊解冻后精子的质量。

期刊介绍： Veterinary Medicine and Science is the peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of research in all areas of veterinary medicine and science. The journal aims to serve the research community by providing a vehicle for authors wishing to publish interesting and high quality work in both fundamental and clinical veterinary medicine and science. Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and research methods papers, along with invited editorials and commentaries. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented in the paper. We aim to be a truly global forum for high-quality research in veterinary medicine and science, and believe that the best research should be published and made widely accessible as quickly as possible. Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes papers submitted directly to the journal and those referred from a select group of prestigious journals published by Wiley-Blackwell. Veterinary Medicine and Science is a Wiley Open Access journal, one of a new series of peer-reviewed titles publishing quality research with speed and efficiency.
