Free radicals are known to be involved in lipid peroxidation as well as DNA and sperm membrane damages that may lead to decreased sperm motility or cell death. The balance between free radical production and their detoxification may be an important factor in sperm survival and function before, during and after cryopreservation. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the addition of the antioxidants of oxidized glutathione (GSSG), bovine serum albumin (BSA), cysteine and lycopene to freezing media on the post-thawing sperm characteristics, including motility, morphology, acrosome integrity, viability and membrane integrity. A total number of 42 ejaculates were collected using the artificial vagina from 4 Akkaraman rams and 10 replicates of the ejaculates were diluted with a Tris-based extender containing additives and no additives as control. GSSG (5 mM), BSA (20 mg/ml), cysteine (10 mM) and lycopene (800 μg) showed more positive effects than other concentrations of the supplements and controls in protecting sperm characteristics after the freezing-thawing process (P < 0.001). Many aspects of sperm protection, e.g. sperm motility, viability and membrane stabilisation of the sperm cells during relative cryopreservation, are the key factors in determining the preservation of sperm function. The results of this study provide a new approach to the cryopreservation of sperm from rams and related breeds, and thereby contribute to the improvement of these breeds for the world sheep industry.

This study investigates the effects of cryopreservation and supplementation of buffalo's semen with Caffeic acid. It studies the effects of different Caffeic acid concentrations on cryopreservation capacity of the buffalo and evaluates their influence on various sperm parameters like motility, viability, progressive motility, sperm plasma membrane integrity, and antioxidant status. Twenty-four semen samples were collected with an artificial vaginal from three adult water buffalos. The semen samples were evaluated and the qualified ejaculates were separated and were diluted in a Tris-based extender. The resulting samples were classified into 5 groups: No antioxidant (control), Control sham (NaOH), Caffeic acid 50 μM, Caffeic acid 100 μM, and Caffeic acid 200 μM. The semen samples encountered cryodamage and the quality was deteriorating during the cryopreservation (P < 0.05). The semen evaluation after thawing showed that the groups of samples receiving 100 μM Caffeic acid had higher viability, total motility, and lower abnormal sperm and better linearity (LIN), curvilinear velocity (VCL), straight-line velocity (VSL) and path velocity and higher intact plasma membrane (P < 0.05) compared to other groups. It is notable that adding 100 μM Caffeic acid to freezing extenders enhances the CAT, GPx, SOD, and GSH and also ameliorates total antioxidant capacity of spermatozoa after thawing. It is notable that the addition of 100 μM Caffeic acid decreases the amount of Malondialdehyde. These reactions lead us to conclude that 100 μM Caffeic acid enhances the semen quality of water buffalo after thawing.
