Supplementation of quercetin for advanced DNA integrity in bull semen cryopreservation

© 2018 Blackwell Verlag GmbH..

The aim of this study was to identify the effects of adding quercetin (Q) to Tris extender in order to identify levels of oxidative stress in bull sperm after freeze thawing. Ejaculates were collected via artificial vagina from Holstein bulls. Semen was divided into five tools and diluted to a final concentration of 15 × 106 spermatozoa/ml with the Tris extender containing Q (25, 50, 100 and 200 μg/ml) and no additive (control; C). All examples were equilibrated at 4°C during 4 hr then were loaded into 0.25-ml straws and frozen using a controlled rate. Sperm motility and motility characteristics were determined using the computer-assisted semen analyser. Sperm membrane integrity was assessed using the hypoosmotic swelling test. Sperm chromatin integrity was investigated using the single cell gel electrophoresis. Total antioxidant capacities were performed colorimetrically. Q supplementation used as an antioxidant did not produce better results in the proportion of sperm progressive and total motility, plasma membrane integrity and sperm abnormalities. Q supplementation exhibited the favourable tail length, tail DNA and tail moment. In conclusion, when whole parameters are considered, Q25 can be added to the Tris extender due to its positive effect on sperm DNA integrity and no adverse effect on the progressive and total motilities of sperm.
