Poult Sci 2024; 103:104190. [PMID: 39180781 PMCID: PMC11385514 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.104190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/04/2024] [Indexed: 08/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Cryopreservation of rooster semen is essential for conserving genetic resources, genetic improvement, and increasing productivity. However, the nature of avian sperm presents a global issue in ensuring superior frozen semen for artificial insemination. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the impact of using dimethylacetamide (DMA), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and ethylene glycol (EG) as cryoprotectants on post-thawed sperm motility, quality, antioxidant indicators, and fertilizing capacity. Twice a week, fresh semen ejaculates were collected from 15 adult roosters and immediately evaluated to constitute a pool from clean and qualified samples. The pooled semen was further diluted at a ratio of 1:2 (v/v) with an extender and then subjected to a freezing protocol in a liquid nitrogen vapor after adding a cryoprotectant solution containing 6% of either DMA, DMSO, or EG, respectively. After thawing, characteristics of sperm motion, quality, antioxidants, and fertilizing ability were evaluated and compared to fresh and cooled semen as controls. The results demonstrated that semen cooling negatively affected some parameters of sperm motility, quality, antioxidant biomarkers, and fertility. In comparison to the DMSO and EG groups, employing DMA considerably (P < 0.05) raised the percentages of sperm progressive motility, viability, plasma membrane intactness, and DNA integrity. The DMA group showed a significant increase in the catalase and glutathione reduced antioxidant enzyme activity and a reduction in nitric oxide and lipid peroxidation. After artificial insemination, the DMA and DMSO groups exhibited considerably (P < 0.05) better rates of hatchability and fertility than the EG group. It is concluded that freezing extenders containing 6% DMA is better than DMSO or EG to improve the post thaw semen quality and fertility in chickens.

Abstract
Male reproductive efficiency is primarily defined by the generation of high-quality and viable sperm cells in farm animals. However, the literature shows that male fertility has declined in recent years due various factors including heat stress, which causes the development of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) which damages sperm cells. This review aimed to examine the potential significance of antioxidants in increasing and preserving sperm quality and viability. Data used to produce this review paper came from recently published articles in peer reviewed journals. Google Scholar, Science Direct, Research Gate, Web of Science, and the Directory of Open Access Journals were used to access the data. Various studies have shown that antioxidants play acritical role in preserving the sperm quality and viability by protecting sperm cells from the potential damage from oxidative stress induced by the development of oxygen species imbalances. However, there is less information on the use of natural or synthetic antioxidants to preserve semen quality through in vivo procedures, despite its growing popularity and promising results. Hence, there is a need for researchers to explore more on this topic, especially in other livestock species than poultry.

Abstract
The management of oxidative stress-related disorders has garnered significant interest, particularly in the exploration of medicinal plants possessing potent antioxidant activities. This study was undertaken to evaluate the antioxidant activity of Mondia whitei (MW) and Guibourtia tessmannii (GT) against H2O2-induced cytotoxicity in PC3 cells. The phytochemical composition of MW and GT was determined by GC-MS analysis. Total phenolic (TP) and total flavonoid (TF) contents were quantified by Folin Ciocalteu and AlCl3 methods, respectively. The antioxidant potential of the extracts was determined using the DPPH and ABTS+ radicals scavenging method, as well as cupric and ferric reducing capacity assay. Moreover, all phytocompounds were docked against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) using ArgusLab, and results were analyzed using the BIOVIA Discovery Studio Visualizer 2021 client. MW and GT comprised 20 and 22 compounds, respectively. GT exhibited higher TP and TF contents (210.70 ± 12.7; 12.61 ± 1.3 GAE/g DW) compared to MW (132.59 ± 12.59; 5.53 ± 1.3 mg of GAE/g DW). Both MW and GT demonstrated substantial antioxidant activity, with GT proving to be more effective in preventing H2O2-induced cytotoxicity. For instance, MW and GT significantly (p < .001) increased the DPPH, ABTS+, and cupric activity, compared with the H2O2 group. All compounds identified in MW and GT exhibited a strong binding affinity against AChE and GST. Drug likeness and toxicity of all phytocompounds were under the acceptable norms of Lipinski's rule. In conclusion, these plants could be effective candidates for the management/treatment of oxidative stress-related disorders.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Cryobiology 2024; 114:104794. [PMID: 37981093 DOI: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2023.104794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
Beijing You Chicken, a valuable local chicken breed from Beijing, China, was once listed as an endangered breed. From the point of view of conservation, the preservation of this breed is an important task for the local researchers. Semen cryopreservation is a popular method to maintain valuable species. However, during cryopreservation, semen is susceptible to oxidative damage. Melatonin is a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger, so it has been selected to improve the efficiency of sperm cryopreservation. In this study, the chicken semen was treated with different concentrations of melatonin in the cryopreservation solution. The results showed that melatonin at concentrations of 10-3 M and 10-5 M significantly improved sperm progressive motility and total motility, respectively, compared to the control (P < 0.05). Melatonin at 10-3 M also significantly improved the plasma membrane and acrosome integrity of spermatozoa compared to the control. The mechanisms are that melatonin significantly reduces the level of ROS and preserves sperm mitochondrial membrane potential. Most importantly, the melatonin-treated cryopreserved chicken sperm after artificial insemination significantly increased the hatching rate of chicks compared to the control (p < 0.05). The results show that melatonin has a positive effect on the quality of the cryopreserved spermatozoa. These results provide the theoretical and practical basis for using melatonin to improve Beijing You Chicken conservation, and they may also be applicable to poultry as a whole.

Abstract
This pioneering research investigated apigenin potential to augment rooster sperm cryosurvival in an extender model. Apigenin is a natural antioxidant flavonoid showing promise for improved post-thaw sperm function. However, its effects on avian semen cryopreservation remain unexplored. This first study supplemented rooster sperm Lake extender with 0, 50, 100, 200, 400 μmol/L apigenin to determine the optimal concentrations for post-thaw quality. Supplementation with 100 μmol/L apigenin resulted in significant enhancements in total motility (from 41.5% up to 71.5%), progressive motility (18.1% to 29.1%) (p < 0.05), membrane integrity (40% to 68%), mitochondrial function (p < 0.001), viability (37% to 62%) and total antioxidant capacity (p < 0.001) compared to the control. It also substantially reduced percentages of abnormal morphology, reactive oxygen species and apoptosis (p < 0.001). Although 200 μmol/L apigenin significantly enhanced some attributes, effects were markedly lower than 100 μmol/L. Higher doses did not improve cryoprotective parameters. This indicates 100 μmol/L as the optimal apigenin concentration. This represents the first report of apigenin protecting rooster sperm from cryodamage. The natural antioxidant improved post-thaw sperm quality, likely by suppressing oxidative stress and apoptosis. Apigenin shows promise for enhancing rooster sperm cryosurvival.

Abstract
Cryopreservation of cells, tissues, and organs is widely used in the biomedical and research world. There are different cryopreservatives that are used for this process; however, many of them, such as DMSO, are used despite the problems they present, mainly due to the toxicity it presents to certain types of samples. The aim of this Review is to highlight the different types of substances used in the cryopreservation process. It has been shown that some of these substances are well-known, as in the case of the families of alcohols, sugars, sulfoxides, etc. However, in recent years, other compounds have appeared, such as ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, or certain polymers, which open the door to new cryopreservation methods and are also less toxic to frozen samples.

Abstract
Semen cryopreservation is an important technique for preserving the genetic material of numerous species. However, frozen semen is highly susceptible to sperm DNA damage and reduced motility, resulting in decreased fertility. The standard method for cryopreservation and several approaches have not been elucidated. This study aimed to determine the effects of supplementing rooster semen extender with a combination of phosphorus and vitamin B12 on cryopreserved semen quality. Semen was collected weekly via dorso-abdominal massage from 57 Burmese × Vietnam-crossbred Thai native roosters aged 1-3 years. In total, 139 semen samples were collected, pooled, and diluted to 200 million sperm per dose. The pooled sample was divided into six experimental groups: a control group (0.00%) diluted with modified Beltville Poultry Semen Extender (BPSE) and five treatment groups diluted with modified BPSE supplemented with phosphorus and vitamin B12 at concentrations 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.10%, respectively. The semen samples were frozen and evaluated at 0, 15, and 30 min after thawing. Sperm kinematic parameters were determined using a computer-assisted sperm analysis system. Sperm quality was evaluated by measuring sperm viability, mitochondrial activity, acrosome integrity, and plasma membrane integrity. Statistical analyses were performed using a general linear mixed model (MIXED) in SAS. Factors in the statistical model were experimental groups, time after thawing, and interaction between experimental groups and time after thawing. Total and progressive motilities were greater in semen supplemented with 0.04% phosphorus and vitamin B12 compared with those in the control (p < 0.05). At 15 min post-thawing, VCL, VAP, and HPA in the 0.04% phosphorus and vitamin B12 supplementation group was greater than that in the control (p < 0.05). Phosphorus and vitamin B12 supplementation did not affect sperm kinematics at 0 and 30 min after thawing (p > 0.05). All the sperm parameters that were tested for the 0.04% phosphorus and vitamin B12 supplementation group in modified BPSE were the highest at all the timepoints after thawing. Thus, supplementing frozen semen extender with 0.04% phosphorus and vitamin B12 increased sperm motility, sperm kinematic parameters, and sperm quality.

Abstract
Sperm cryopreservation is an effective technique for conserving animal genetic diversity and transmitting superior genetic backgrounds, maintained via a non-invasive sampling and collection of huge quantities of sperm. Nevertheless, cryopreservation in avian species is not commercially viable because of the rooster sperm's susceptibility to damage. This study aims to estimate the impact of dimethylacetamide (DMA) as a cryoprotectant at different levels (3%, 6%, or 9%) on the post-thawed sperm quality, motility, antioxidant-biomarkers, and the expression of anti-freeze related genes. Semen samples were collected twice a week from twelve roosters aged 40 wk, weighing 3400 ± 70 g, and belonging to the Cairo-B2 chicken strain. Fresh semen samples were rapidly appraised, pooled, diluted with two volumes of a basic extender, and divided equally into three groups. The diluted groups were chilled at -20 °C for 7 min, then gently supplemented with 3, 6, or 9% pre-cooled DMA and equilibrated at 5 °C for a further 10 min. Semen pellets were formed by pipetting drops 7 cm above liquid nitrogen (LN2), which were then kept inside cryovials in the LN2. Thawing was performed 2 months later by taking 3-4 pellets of the frozen semen into a glass tube and warming it in a water bath for 8 s at 60 °C. The results showed that 3% DMA increased the proportion of total motile sperm, progressivity, viability, and plasma membrane integrity (%) compared to the 6% and 9% DMA groups. The lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme activity were improved in the 3% group. At the same time, some anti-freeze-related genes' (including ras homolog family member A (RHOA), heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide A (SNRPA1)) expressions were upregulated within the 3% DMA group relative to other groups. In conclusion, the 3% DMA group maintained higher post-thawed sperm quality than the other tested groups.
