| Popis: | The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of addition of the antioxidants Trolox and catalase to a ram semen cryopreservation extender on lipid peroxidation and hydrogen peroxide generation on the extender and in the thawed semen. Semen was collected from 23 Santa Ines rams (one ejaculate per ram) and diluted at 32°C to a concentration of 400×10⁶ cells/ml in one of the following solution: Tris-egg yolk extender (control), or the same extender supplemented with either 50μM Trolox/10⁸ sperm (Trolox), 50μgcatalase/ml (Catalase) or a combination of Trolox and catalase (Tro+cat, 50μM Trolox/10⁸ sperm and 50μg catalase/ml). The semen was loaded into 0.25ml straws, cooled and frozen in a programmable freezer and subsequently stored in liquid nitrogen. Prior to evaluation, frozen straws were thawed in a water bath (42°C for 20s). Lipid peroxidation (LPO), both spontaneous and catalyzed, on the semen and the extender were measured using the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay in accordance with the method described by Buege and Aust (1978). Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) generation was measured using the horseradish peroxidase-dependent oxidation of phenol red to a derivative with absorbance at 610nm, according to the method described by Pick and Keisari (1980). Spontaneous LPO resulted in the least production of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) in the Tro+cat (1.37±0.02nMol/10⁸ sperm), compared to amounts in the other treatments groups. In the catalyzed LPO experiments, the least (P |
