Abstract
A wide variety of antioxidants that were evaluated for freezing equine semen failed to yield satisfactory results in maintaining their quality and fertility. Isoespintanol and thymol are molecules of natural origin with a high antioxidant activity, which makes them potentially useful for reducing semen oxidative stress during cryopreservation. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of isoespintanol and thymol on total antioxidant and enzymatic activity of equine semen diluted for freezing purposes. The semen of five Colombian creole horses was diluted in a freezing medium, divided into three aliquots that were randomly assigned to treatments with isoespintanol (40 μM), thymol (50 μM), or control (no antioxidant). Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was evaluated using ORAC and FRAP tests. Catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity were evaluated by enzymatic assays. The statistical evaluation was performed using mixed models, correlation analysis, and comparison of means by Tukey’s test. SOD and GPx activities were lower for isoespintanol (6.7 ± 2.2 U/ml and 0.16 ± 0.02 U/ml), compared to thymol (6.9 ± 2.2 U/ml and 0.20 ± 0.02 U/ml) and to control (7.2 ± 2.2 U/ml and 0.22 ± 0.02 U/ml) (p 0.05). Isoespintanol reduces SOD and GPx activity in equine semen diluted for freezing purposes.
期刊介绍:
The Revue de Médecine Vétérinaire publishes four kinds of text:
1) Scientific reviews on subjects related to veterinary and comparative medicine. Suggested length: 10 to 30 typed pages.
2) Original reports on fundamental or applied research. Suggested length: 10 to 15 typed pages.
3) Continuous education articles, that should be easily understandable by non-specialists. Suggested length: 10 to 15 typed pages.
4) Clinical reports. Suggested length: 5 to 15 typed pages.
The publication can be done in French language or English language.
For an article written in English by not english native speakers authors, the manuscript must be subjected by attesting that it was read again by an anglophone scientist or a scientific translator.
The authors must certify that the manuscript was not published or subjected for publication to another review.
The manuscript must be accompanied by a sheet signed by all the joint authors indicating their agreement for the tender of the manuscript.
The publication is free but a financial participation could be required for the photographs color. An estimate will be sent to collect the agreement of the authors.
