free radicals, antioxidants, semen, equineAbstract
The use of sperm cryopreservation in equine reproduction represented a major breakthrough
for the development of the species. However the use of biotechnologies such as refrigeration
and freezing sperm prints on the physical and chemical damage cells that result in increased
levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative stress and irreversible injury to sperm.
Aiming to mitigate the consequences of oxidative stress, different substances with antioxidant
properties are added to extenders for cryopreservation, despite this, most of the time the
mechanism of action triggered by these antioxidants is not well understood. In view of this,
the aim with this study reference the main antioxidants used in cryopreservation stallions and
their mechanisms of action.
