leptin improves sperm cryopreservation via antioxidant defense

چکیده

background: leptin and its receptor are present in spermatozoa; however, the role of leptin in sperm function is still controversial. our present study aimed at demonstrating the effect of cryopreservation on sperm dna fragmentation (dnaf) and investigating the possible effects of sperm capacitation techniques and leptin in vitro incubation on frozen-thawed sperm dnaf and oxidative stress. methods: samples of 45 normospermic men attending for infertility investigation at vida centro de fertilidade, rio de janeiro, brazil, were frozen and thawed with or without capacitation and leptin incubation prior to freezing. sperm dna fragmentation was evaluated by sperm chromatin dispersion assay before and after cryopreservation and oxidative stress parameters were measured by spectrophotometry with and without leptin incubation. statistical analysis was performed using paired t test to compare dnaf between groups before and after freeze-thaw cycle, to compare groups before and after capacitation and leptin incubation and oxidative measurements before and after leptin incubation. statistical significance was considered when p≤0.05. results: our results revealed a significant post-thaw rise in sperm dnaf compared with fresh samples (p=0.0003). sperm dnaf was significantly reduced when sperm capacitation was performed before freezing, when compared to those frozen with no previous capacitation (p=0.01). the addition of leptin to capacitated sperm before freezing reduced dnaf (p<0.0001) and enhanced superoxide dismutase (p=0.001) and glutathione peroxidase (p=0.02) antioxidant enzymes activity. conclusion: the addition of leptin to capacitated sperm can improve sperm dna quality following cryopreservation, possibly by inducing the activity of certain antioxidant enzymes.

Leptin Improves Sperm Cryopreservation via Antioxidant Defense

BACKGROUND Leptin and its receptor are present in spermatozoa; however, the role of leptin in sperm function is still controversial. Our present study aimed at demonstrating the effect of cryopreservation on sperm DNA fragmentation (DNAf) and investigating the possible effects of sperm capacitation techniques and leptin in vitro incubation on frozen-thawed sperm DNAf and oxidative stress.

Cryopreservation of Rat Sperm

The laboratory rat, Rattus norvegicus, was the first mammalian species domesticated for scientific research, which work dating back to before 1850. From this auspicious beginning, the rat has become the most widely studied experimental animal model for biomedical research (Jacob, 1999). Since the development of the first inbred rat strain by King 1909, over 500 inbred rat strains have been deve...

Human Sperm Cryopreservation

As the demand for assisted reproductive techniques in humans increases, so does the demand for the oocytes and sperm that are essential for these techniques. Human sperm banks play a key role in assisted human reproduction, as a reservoir of sperm from the semen of donors and as an option for genetic preservation for some patients. There are different techniques that can be used to store human ...

Rabbit sperm cryopreservation: a review.

Sperm cryopreservation is a great challenge, since many sperm are irreversibly damaged or present altered functionality after the whole process. Although components of extenders for sperm cryopreservation are quite similar between species, sperm from each of the species present peculiarities that force researchers to optimize the extenders and protocols for each particular species. In this revi...

The history of sperm cryopreservation

While there have been several relatively recent comprehensive reviews of mammalian sperm cryopreservation (Watson, 2001; Leibo, 2004), this chapter is not meant to be a review of the literature of mammalian sperm cryopreservation. Instead, we intend to provide an understanding of the history, current status, and potential future direction of mammalian sperm cryobiology. There are many reasons w...

Effect of cryopreservation on lipid composition and antioxidant enzyme activity of seabass (Lates calcarifer) sperm

Cryopreservation of seabass (Lates calcarifer) semen is an approach to increase the quantity and quality of seabass fry in aquaculture. However, cold shock can induce sperm injury leading to structural damage of the plasma membrane and loss of motility. Thus, the effect of cryopreservation on fatty acid composition and antioxidant enzyme activities of seabass sperm was determined. In cryopreser...
