Vitamin E is one of the most powerful antioxidants for prevention of cell damage resulting from cryopreservation, but its efficacy for cryopreserving brown trout sperm is still unclear. In this work, the protective effect of vitamin E on quality, fertilizing capacity, and DNA damage of brown trout (Salmo trutta macrostigma) sperm after cryopreservation was evaluated. Sperm samples were diluted at the ratio of 1:10 with three different extenders (E): (E-I): 300 mM glucose, 10% egg yolk; (E-II): 33.3 mM glucose, 5.1 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM NaHCO3,, 15% DMA; and (E-III): 61.6 mM NaCl, 134.2 mM KCl, 1.9 mM CaCl2, 0.8 mM MgCl2, 2.3 mM NaHCO3 in distilled water. Each extender was supplemented with 10% DMSO and different concentrations of vitamin E at 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mM. Spermatozoa frozen without vitamin E (0 mM, control) and fresh sperm were also used. After dilution, the sperm was aspirated into 0.25 mL straws, frozen 3 cm above the liquid nitrogen (LN2) surface, and plunged into the LN2. Cell motility, viability, fertilization, and eyeing were determined in post-thawed samples. DNA damage was determined by the comet assay after cryopreservation. Supplementation of 1 mM vitamin E to all extenders exhibited the best cryoprotective effect in terms of sperm motility, duration of motility, viability, fertility, and DNA integrity against cryopreservation damage, compared with 0.1, 0.5, and control group (0 mM) (p < 0.05). The highest post-thaw motility (62.4% ± 0.36%), fertilization (48.2 ± 0.84), and the lowest DNA damage (7.245%) were obtained with the extender-II including 1.0 mM vitamin E (p < 0.05). Consequently, vitamin E positively affected the motility parameters, fertility, and DNA integrity, and the results suggest the addition of extenders with vitamin E as an antioxidant for the cryopreservation of brown trout sperm.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013081 Sperm Motility Movement characteristics of SPERMATOZOA in a fresh specimen. It is measured as the percentage of sperms that are moving, and as the percentage of sperms with productive flagellar motion such as rapid, linear, and forward progression.

D013094 Spermatozoa Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.

D014337 Trout Various fish of the family SALMONIDAE, usually smaller than salmon. They are mostly restricted to cool clear freshwater. Some are anadromous. They are highly regarded for their handsome colors, rich well-flavored flesh, and gameness as an angling fish. The genera Salvelinus, Salmo, and ONCORHYNCHUS have been introduced virtually throughout the world. Chars,Salvelinus,Char
D014810 Vitamin E A generic descriptor for all TOCOPHEROLS and TOCOTRIENOLS that exhibit ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL activity. By virtue of the phenolic hydrogen on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus, these compounds exhibit varying degree of antioxidant activity, depending on the site and number of methyl groups and the type of ISOPRENOIDS.
D015925 Cryopreservation Preservation of cells, tissues, organs, or embryos by freezing. In histological preparations, cryopreservation or cryofixation is used to maintain the existing form, structure, and chemical composition of all the constituent elements of the specimens.
