Effects of Carnosic and Gallic Acid on Ram Sperm Parameters and Seminal Plasma Homocysteine-Nesfatin Levels after Thawing

Abstract

In the presented study, the protective role of carnosic and gallic acid on post-thaw ram sperm acrosome and membrane integrity was examined, homocysteine and nesfatin levels were determined. Six ejaculates for each ram were used in the study. Each ejaculate, split into five equal aliquots was diluted with extenders including 0.05 mM gallic acid (GA), 2 mM gallic acid, 0.05 mM carnosic acid (CA), 0.2 mM carnosic acid and no additive (control) at 37 °C cooled to 5 °C then frozen at nitrogen vapor. Freeze-thawed ram semen viability was achieved in gallic acid 2mM (57.13± 2.38%) group and statistical difference was found with control group (45.08±2.98%) (p<0.05). There was no statistical difference between the groups in membrane integrity evaluation (p>0.05). The lowest level of homocysteine was obtained in the gallic acid groups (0.67±0.11 and 0.61±0.26 μmol/L) and was found statistically different with the control group (1.36±0.9 μmol/L) (p<0.05). No significant difference was found in nesfatin levels among groups (p>0.05). GA supplementation in ram semen extender has been determined to protect viability and membrane integrity also to decrease homocysteine level. There was no significant difference between the groups in the evaluation of nesfatin level.
