Lipid peroxidation (LPO) due to oxidative stress leads to structural and functional changes in spermatozoa.
To evaluate any association of various seminal characteristics at the pre- and post-cryopreservation stages with LPO and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in Murrah buffalo semen samples.
Sixty-five ejaculates from seven bulls were processed for cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen.
Only 31 (47.7%) samples were found satisfactory for inclusion in the further artificial insemination. A strong negative correlation was observed between LPO and individual progressive motility, TAC, viability, plasma membrane integrity as well as acrosome integrity of fresh spermatozoa. At the post-thaw stage, post-thaw motility, viability, plasma membrane integrity and acrosome integrity had strong positive correlation with TAC.
The effort to minimize LPO and enhance TAC shall play a pivotal role in improving buffalo semen quality upon cryopreservation.
氧化应激导致的脂质过氧化(LPO)会导致精子的结构和功能发生变化。
评估牛冷冻精液样本在冷冻保存前后的各种精液特性与 LPO 和总抗氧化能力(TAC)之间的关联。
对 7 头公牛的 65 份精液进行了液氮冷冻处理。
只有 31 份(47.7%)样本被认为足够好,可用于进一步的人工授精。LPO 与新鲜精子的个体前向运动能力、TAC、活力、质膜完整性和顶体完整性呈强烈负相关。在解冻后阶段,解冻后活力、活力、质膜完整性和顶体完整性与 TAC 呈强正相关。
努力减少 LPO 和提高 TAC 将在改善水牛精液冷冻保存质量方面发挥关键作用。
