Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of both pure rainbow trout seminal plasma (RTSP) supplementation and RTSP-cysteine combination on cryopreservation success and post-thaw incubation resilience of ram semen in the nonbreeding season. For this purpose, different doses of RTSP (0%, 1%, 10%, and 15%) with or without cysteine supplementation were used for experiments. Ejaculates chosen for experiments were pooled and then divided into eight equal volumes for grouping (Control-ControlC, RTSP1-RTSP1C, RTSP10-RTSP10C, and RTSP15-RTSP15C). After cryopreservation, frozen-thawed semen samples were incubated for 5 hours at 37°C for determination of post-thaw incubation resistance. Motility, HOST, TUNEL, Rh123-PI, and CTC tests were performed at 0 hour and 3rd and 5th hours of post-thaw incubation to evaluate the efficacy of all experimental groups. The RTSP10 and RTSP10C groups were noted to provide the best protection on motility, plasma membrane integrity, DNA integrity, and mitochondrial function of cryopreserved ram semen. On the other hand, the best protection against cryo-capacitation was observed in RTSP15 and RTSP15C groups. The addition of cysteine was found to be effective when the higher (15%) or lower (1%) doses of RTSP were used, as well as for no use of RTSP.

Shi L, Shi J, Feng J, Zhang P, Ren Y. Proteomic analysis reveals the potential positive effects of Mito-TEMPO on ram sperm motility and fertility during cryopreservation. Theriogenology 2023; 205:27-39.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mitochondria-targeted antioxidant Mito-TEMPO on the protein profile of ram sperm during cryopreservation and evaluate the cryoprotective roles of Mito-TEMPO on ram sperm quality and fertilization capacity. Semen collected from 8 Dorper rams was cryopreserved in TCG-egg yolk extender supplemented with various concentrations of Mito-TEMPO (0, 20, 40 and 60 μM). After thawing, sperm characteristics, antioxidant status and the abundance of hexose transporters (GLUT 3 and 8) were analyzed. The cervical artificial insemination (AI) was performed to evaluate the fertilization ability of cryopreserved ram sperm. The alterations of sperm proteomic profile between the control and MT40 groups were determined using iTRAQ-coupled LC-MS. Supplementation with 40 μM of Mito-TEMPO resulted in the highest post-thaw sperm motility and kinematics. Sperm quality, antioxidant capacity and glucose transporter abundance of frozen-thawed ram sperm were elevated in the MT40 group. The inclusion of 40 μM Mito-TEMPO in freezing extender also resulted in the higher pregnancy rate of ewes. A total of 457 proteins including 179 upregulated proteins and 278 downregulated proteins were defied as differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) using fold change (FC) > 1.2 with P < 0.05. Sixty-one DEPs with (FC > 1.5) were dramatically regulated by Mito-TEMPO. These DEPs are mainly involved in sperm motility, energy metabolism and capacitation. Our data suggest that the beneficial effects of Mito-TEMPO on sperm motility and fertility potential of cryopreserved ram semen are achieved by regulating sperm antioxidant capacity and sperm proteins related to energy metabolism and fertility.

Abstract
Aim: The study was designed to elucidate the effects of quercetin in an extender on oxidative stress, mitochondrial activity and quality of Indian red jungle fowl (Gallus gallus murghi) sperm during cryopreservation. Materials and Methods: Semen was collected from seven adult males through abdominal massage and evaluated for semen volume, concentration, and motility. The qualifying semen ejaculates having >80% motility were diluted in red fowl extenders with 0 (control), 5, 10, 15, and 20 mM quercetin. Diluted semen was frozen following a glycerol-based protocol. Semen quality (motility, plasma membrane integrity, viability, acrosome integrity, and chromatin condensation status) and biochemical parameters (mitochondrial activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power, and malondialdehyde [MDA]) were determined at various stages of cryopreservation. Results: Sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity, viability, acrosome integrity, and chromatin condensation were recorded highest (p < 0.05) with 15 mM quercetin compared with 5, 10, and 20 mM quercetin and control at post-dilution, cooling, equilibration, and freeze-thawing. Nevertheless, mitochondrial activity and antioxidant potential were recorded highest with 15 mM quercetin compared with all experimental extenders at post-equilibration and freeze-thawing. MDA concentration in sperm and seminal plasma were recorded lowest (p < 0.05) in the extender having 15 mM quercetin at post-equilibration and freeze-thawing. Cryopreservation stages showed negative effects (p < 0.05) on semen quality parameters, irrespective of experimental extenders. Conclusions: It is concluded that quercetin (15 mM) supplementation in red fowl extender improves sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity, viability, acrosome integrity, chromatin condensation, and mitochondrial activity by elevating the total antioxidant potential and ameliorating lipid peroxidation during cryopreservation.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using red pine bark tree extract (P; Pinus brutia Ten) as a TRIS extender in an attempt to prevent oxidative stress in bull spermatozoa after freezing. Semen specimens were obtained from Simmental bulls via an artificial vagina and pooled. They were separated into five specimens and diluted with Tris extender consisting of P (200, 100, 50 and 25 µg/ml) and P free (control; C) up to a final concentration of 16 × 106 per straw. All specimens were equilibrated for a period of 4 hr at a temperature of 4°C, following which they were filled in 0.25-ml French straws and frozen. Addition of P resulted in favourable tail length in comparison with C (p < .05). The lowest malondialdehyde levels and the highest glutathione levels were detected in all P groups (p < .05). Supplementation with P did not show advanced results in terms of total, progressive sperm motility and total abnormality in comparison with C (p > .05). In conclusion, it has been shown that although P added to a Tris extender does not have a positive effect on sperm motility, it prevents chromatin damage by reducing oxidative stress, in addition to reducing head abnormalities when used at the amount of 50 μg/ml.

Abstract
The present investigation aimed to estimate the in vitro effects of resveratrol (RES) on the quality of chilled ram semen. Resveratrol was added to Triladyl® in three different concentration as 0 (control), 200 or 400 μM. Semen was collected from three Najdi rams, pooled and extended with one of three previous extenders for a final concentration of 600×106 sperm/ml. Then, the diluted semen was cooled gradually, and stored at 4°C. The total motility, viability, plasma membrane integrity and acrosome integrity were assessed at 0, 24, 72 and 120 h of storage. The thermal incubation test was evaluated at day 7. The survival time, total motility and the progressive motility were registered at day 15 of storage. After 4 h of incubation, the percentage of live sperm was significantly lower in the control group than in other groups. Results of survival time, total motility and progressive motility at day 15 of liquid storage were significantly higher in RES groups than that of the control. Based on the results of incubation resistance, survival time, total and progressive motility, it could be concluded that adding 200 and 400 μM of RES to Triladyl extender can improve the quality of ram semen during chilled storage at 4°C.

Antioxidant Effect of a Polyphenol-Rich Murtilla ( Ugni molinae Turcz.) Extract and Its Effect on the Regulation of Metabolism in Refrigerated Boar Sperm. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:2917513. [PMID: 31281571 PMCID: PMC6589320 DOI: 10.1155/2019/2917513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2018] [Revised: 03/22/2019] [Accepted: 04/28/2019] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in boar spermatozoa increases in refrigeration; this can have an impact on sperm quality and fertilization capacity. We evaluated the effect of polyphenol-rich aqueous extract of murtilla (Ugni molinae Turcz) on boar sperm stored at 17°C in order to reduce oxidative stress and improve sperm quality in the long term. Five experiments were performed: first, characterization of the polyphenol content from five genotypes of murtilla; second, determination of the genotype with the best antioxidant effect (MT-Ex); third, the antioxidant capacity on O2− and lipid peroxidation; fourth, the influence of MT-Ex on motility, calcium movement, cAMP, and metabolic parameters; and fifth, analysis of long-term refrigeration. The average phenolic content was 344 ppm; gallic acid, catechin, quercetin, myricetin, and kaempferol were detected. All extracts evaluated presented a concentration-dependent antioxidant effect. MT-Ex reduces intracellular O2−/peroxides but low lipid peroxidation. MT-Ex in nonstimulated ROS conditions reduces sperm motility, mitochondrial membrane potential, cAMP, and ATP, but the succinate dehydrogenase activity remained normal; also, we observed a reduction in calcium movement in in vitro sperm capacitation. The long-term analyses showed that MT-Ex improved sperm motility decay and reduced membrane damage and ROS at 168 h. Based on this study, we propose MT-Ex as a supplement in semen extenders.

Abstract
This study assessed the effect of l-carnitine (LC) in sheep semen extenders containing or not egg yolk for cryopreservation in sheep. Two extenders (TRIS-egg yolk or the commercial optiXcell™ IMV medium) were used, totaling six groups: IMV - (0, 5 and 10 mM LC) and TRIS - (0, 5 and 10 mM LC). After the freezing-thawing process and throughout incubation at 38 °C for up to 3 h, several parameters were evaluated: sperm kinetics, hypoosmotic, plasma membrane integrity, capacitation status and lipid peroxidation level. The supplementation of either 5 or 10 mM LC randomly affected some parameters and, overall, TRIS was superior (P < 0.05) than IMV extender. In the LC-groups, IMV had greater (P < 0.05) oxidative stress than TRIS. In conclusion, although LC affected isolated parameters, its supplementation in semen extender had no consistently beneficial effect on freezing-thawing ram sperm.
