ABSTRACT
Post-thawing cryoinjuries in boar spermatozoa due to oxidative stress may be reduced by adding nanoencapsulated antioxidants to freezing extenders. This study evaluated post-thawing kinetics, structural and biochemical functions of boar spermatozoa frozen with extenders including resveratrol and vitamin E loaded into polymeric nanocapsules. Resveratrol was added at 0 (control), 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 µg/ml, whereas Vitamin E was added at 0 (control), 50, 100, 200 and 400 µg/ml. Both antioxidants were tested in free and nanoencapsulated presentations. In contact with empty nanocapsules, some sperm kinetics parameters were impaired compared to the control (p < .05), whereas lipoperoxidation declined (p < .05). With inclusion of 40 µg/ml nanoencapsulated resveratrol, some sperm kinetics parameters were improved (p < .01), but sperm motility, structural and biochemical functions did not differ from the control (p > .05). No improvement in sperm quality occurred with inclusion of vitamin E, although sperm kinetics with 400 µg/ml nanoencapsulated vitamin E was reduced compared to the control (p < .01). Inclusion of 40 µg/ml nanoencapsulated resveratrol benefitted boar sperm kinetics after thawing, but no improvement resulted from inclusion of vitamin E.
