Abstract
OBJECTIVE
The aim: To examine the efficiency of different concentrations of Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and glycerol as a cytoprotectants in protection of human sperms during cryopres¬ervation in this technique.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Materials and methods: Thirty oligozoospermic semen samples were used in this study. Samples diagnosed according to WHO 2010 criteria. Sheep's ovarian follicles obtained from local slaughterhouse and prepared by slicing the ovaries and evacuating the follicular fluid and oocyte. Each semen sample divided into six equal parts, and diluted 1:1 with cryosolution contains 5%, 10%, 15% DMSO or glycerol and injected within the emptied follicles. After freezing and thawing, the semen mixture aspired outside the follicles and sperm concentration, progressive motility, total motility, and normal morphology were examined.
RESULTS
Results: The best recovery rate of progressive and total motility post-thawing were with the use of 5% glycerol, and the lowest recovery rate of progressive and total motility and normal morphology were with the use of 15% DMSO.
CONCLUSION
Conclusions: In this technique, glycerol was more efficient than DMSO regarding sperm motility. The best concentration of glycerol for cryopreserve human spermatozoa is 5%.
