- Abstract
Cryopreservation of ram sperm reduces sperm motility and breaks sperm membrane integrity due to free radicals developed by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, it provokes cryodamage and deteriorates sperm quality. This study investigated the effect of glutathione addition as an antioxidant agent on the quality of local ram spermatozoa. The impacts of glutathione additions were observed in five different concentrations (control, 0.5 mM, 1 mM, and 1.5 mM or treatment P0-P4); the extender used to dilute the semen of two rams was andromed diluents. This research examined factors including the quality of fresh sperm, sperm motility, and membrane integrity after chilled. The data in this research was analyzed using one-way ANOVA to determine the effect of glutathione addition between the control and treatment groups. The outcomes demonstrated that adding glutathione significantly (p<0.05) enhanced motility and membrane integrity after stored in cold storage for 48 hours. In comparison with the control, the P1 concentration generated the best results in terms of ensuring the integrity of ram spermatozoa after processing. Glutathione concentration of 0.1mM (P1) showed the best motility and membrane integrity at 0 hours and 48 hours cold storage (82.50 ± 0.92 versus 65.35 ± 1.80% and 87.50 ± 0.50 versus 68.75 ± 1, 83%. In conclusion, the addition of glutathione affected the quality of local sheep spermatozoa after cooling. We obtain the best results of membrane motility and integrity at the glutathione level of 0.1 nM.
