Positive effect of BSA supplemented soybean lecithin based extender on liquid storage of ram semen at 5C

Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate different BSA doses in soybean-lecithin based extenders for liquid storage of ram semen. Pooled semen was divided into four equal volumes and diluted in a single-step dilution method with BSA supplemented (BSA5, BSA7.5, BSA10 groups supplemented 5mg/mL, 7.5mg/mL, 10mg/mL BSA respectively) and BSA-free (control) extenders. Semen samples were assessed for sperm motility, plasma membrane functional integrity using hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST), damaged acrosome using FITC-Pisum sativum agglutinin (PSA-FITC) at 0, 24, 48 and 72h of storage at 5 °C. Antioxidant activities of groups at 0 and 72h were measured with glutathionine (GSH) concentration, membrane lipid peroxidation status was analyzed using the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration. Antioxidant capacity of extender also was measured with 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and Dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) assays. In the study, BSA (5mg/mL) supplementation has beneficial effect on ram sperm parameters at all evaluation times. In addition, the increasing doses of BSA supplementation has a negative effect on sperm parameters especially 48 and 72h of storage

BSA ilave edilmiş lesitin bazlı sulandırıcının koç spermasının 5 C sıcaklıkta muhafaza edilmesineolumlu etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, farklı dozlarda BSA ilave edilmiş lesitin bazlı sulandırıcının koç spermasının 5°C’ta kısa sureli saklanması üzerindeki etkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Çalışma amacıyla alınan spermalar pooling yapılarak dört eşit hacme bölündü ve 5mg/mL, 7.5mg/mL, 10mg/mL BSA ilave edilmiş (BSA5, BSA7.5, BSA10 sırasıyla) ve edilmemiş (kontrol) sulandırıcılarla sulandırıldı. Sulandırılmış spermanın sıcaklığı 5°C’a düştükten sonra 0, 24, 48 ve 72. saatlerde; motilite, plazma membran fonksiyonel bütünük [hipoozmotik şişme testi (HOST)] ve akrozomal hasar [FITC-Pisum sativum agglutinin (PSA-FITC)] muayeneleri yapıldı. Çalışmanın başlangıcı ve sonunda antioksidan aktivitenin ve lipid peroksidasyonun değerlendirilmesi için malondialdehyde (MDA) ve glutathionine (GSH) konsantrasyonları ölçüldü. Ayrıca 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) ve Dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) yöntemleri ile her bir sulandırıcının antioksidan kapasiteleri değerlendirildi. Yapılan muayenelerin sonucunda; 5mg/mL BSA ilavesinin koç spermasının kısa süreli muhafazasında etkili olduğu gözlemlendi. Ayrıca artan BSA konsantrasyonunun spermanın soğutularak saklanmasında olumsuz etki oluşturduğu belirlendi
