The replacement of egg yolk with alternative plant-derived soybean lecithin is gaining interest in both animal and human sperm cryopreservation owing to biosecurity issues with egg yolk based extenders.
To evaluate the comparative effect of egg yolk and soyabean lecithin based extenders on the quality of cryopreserved crossbred ram semen.
Pooled ejaculates (total ejaculates = 36) were divided into two aliquots and extended with Tris egg yolk extender (Tris extender) and soybean lecithin based commercial extender (Ovixcell) RESULTS: Among the two extenders, Ovixcell showed better sperm quality both at the pre-freeze (Sperm motility) and post-thaw stages. Lower malondialdehyde (MDA) level (nmol/mL) was observed in Ovixcell as compared to Tris extender. Both sperm quality and MDA level decreased significantly (P < 0.05) from pre-freeze to post-thaw in both the extenders.
The findings of the present study indicate that Ovixcell is a comparable alternative to Tris extender for the cryopreservation of crossbred ram semen.
由于蛋黄基 extender 存在生物安全问题,用替代植物源性大豆卵磷脂替代蛋黄在动物和人类精子冷冻保存中引起了关注。
评估蛋黄和大豆卵磷脂基 extender 对冷冻杂交公羊精液质量的比较效果。
将混合精液(总精液量=36)分为两等份,分别用 Tris 蛋黄 extender(Tris extender)和大豆卵磷脂商业 extender(Ovixcell)进行扩展。
在两种 extender 中,Ovixcell 在冷冻前(精子活力)和冷冻后阶段均显示出更好的精子质量。与 Tris extender 相比,Ovixcell 中的丙二醛(MDA)水平(nmol/mL)较低。两种 extender 的精子质量和 MDA 水平在冷冻前和冷冻后均显著降低(P < 0.05)。
本研究结果表明,Ovixcell 是冷冻杂交公羊精液的 Tris extender 的可比较替代品。
