TL;DR: Catalase (CAT) activities were higher in the group that was applied 25mM taurine as an antioxidant, than in all of the other groups in this study, and the addition of antioxidants did not cause significant differences in levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and glutATHione peroxidase (G SH-Px), after thawing, when compared to groups with no additives.

TL;DR: It is suggested that while epididymal ram sperm is extremely resilient to various cryobiologically relevant stress conditions, ejaculated ram sperm demonstrate greater sensitivity to such stressors.

TL;DR: It is suggested that rat sperm have unique properties that need to be considered during centrifugation, Percoll gradient separation, and pipetting procedures.

TL;DR: Results indicate that major mechanism of action of NP on rat sperm is by adversely affecting their acrosomal integrity, however, NP-induced impaired sperm motility, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential also likely to play an important role in destruction of sperm function.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the supplementation of iodixanol increases the cryosurvival of EE ram semen in a dose-dependent manner and protected post-thaw progressive motility, membrane integrity, acrosomal integrity and morphological damages.
