ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Abstract
16
The performance of cryopreserved semen in ovine artificial insemination still needs improvement. Some
17
antioxidants have been tested, with variable success. We cryopreserved semen from Churra rams using
18
TES-Tris-fructose with 4% glycerol and 10% egg-yolk (EY) or 3.5% soybean lecithin (SL), with 1 mM
19
of reduced glutathione (GSH), Trolox, crocin or cysteamine. Samples were analyzed post-thawing and
20
post-incubation (6 h, 38 ◦C) for motility (CASA), viability, acrosomal integrity, apoptosis, mitochondrial
21
activity, chromatin status and lipoperoxidation (malondialdehyde —MDA— production). Interactions
22
(antioxidant/extender/incubation) were significant for most variables. Extenders yielded similar results,
23
although SL depressed mitochondrial activity and linearity (P
