Popis: Saccharides have bioprotective properties, with a high capacity to preserve biological proteins and membranes during sperm cryopreservation. The aim of this study was to evaluate how replacing the lactose of cryopreservation media by sucrose (SUC) or trehalose (TRE) at concentrations of 0.2 M (SUC-1 and TRE-1) and 0.25 M (SUC-2 and TRE-2) affects frozen/thawed pig spermatozoa. The media used were composed of medium A (saccharide/egg yolk) and B (saccharide/egg yolk/glycerol), their osmolality being determined prior to freezing. Cell viability, membrane lipid disorder, acrosome integrity, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), lipid peroxidation, thiol group oxidation, total reactive oxygen species (ROS), peroxynitrite and superoxide anion (O2●-) were determined through flow cytometry; total motility (TM), progressive motility (PM) and kinetic parameters motility were determined immediately after thawing (T0) and again 30 (T30) and 60 (T60) minutes later. The SUC-2 and TRE-2 groups maintained viability significantly and presented fewer lipid membrane disorders, respectively, both with a significant increase in MMP. The production of O2●- and peroxynitrite was lower in the TRE-2 groups compared to the control (P
