Aimed to evaluate the effect of adding antioxidants as ascorbic acid, melatonin and Trolox C to diluted semen of ram with oxidative stress to potenciate fertilization after cryopreservation. Ten samples collected were diluted in Tris-egg yolk to a final concentration of 200x106 sperm/mL and kept in a water bath at 32°C. Antioxidants were added as follows: 100µM melatonin (MEL) +.05% ascorbic acid (AA); 100µM of MEL + 90µL of Trolox C (TRO); 90µL of TRO + 0.05% AA; and 100µM of MEL0.05% AA + 90µL of TRO. Semen was cooled in a cold chamber at 5°C for two hours and packaged, sealed in 0.5mL straws, packaged under liquid nitrogen vapor (N2L), 8cm of water depth for 15 minutes, and then immersed in N2L. Samples were assayed for motility, integrity of the plasma membrane and acrosomal membrane, mitochondrial activity, binding assay and oxidative stress spermatozoa. The variables were analyzed by ANOVA and means compared by Tukey test (P<0.05). Percentage of total and progressive motility was higher for sperm treated with MEL+AA+TRO (67% and 49.89%), MEL+AA (64.37% and 45.61%) and MEL+TRO (61.65% and 41.15%) compared with the other treatments (P<0.05). The integrity of the plasma membrane and acrosome was higher for all semen treated with antioxidant associations compared with control (P<0.05). Mitochondrial activity was higher in sperm treated with MEL+AA+TRO compared all treatments (P<0.05). The number of sperm binding to perivitelline membrane was higher for semen treated with antioxidant associations compared with control; also sperm treated with MEL+AA+TRO demonstrated higher effect of all (P<0.05). No difference was observed between the treatments by oxidative stress sperm (P>0.05). The addition of melatonin, ascorbic acid and Trolox C in diluted semen of ram improves sperm quality after thawing.

Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da adição dos antioxidantes ácido ascórbico, melatonina e Trolox C, associados ao sêmen diluído de carneiros sobre o estresse oxidativo e o potencial fecundante após criopreservação. Foram coletados 10 ejaculados de 3 carneiros (n=30) e diluídos em Tris-Gema de ovo até a concentração final de 200x106 sptz/mL e, mantidos em banho maria a 32°C. Os antioxidantes foram adicionados da seguinte forma: controle (sem adição de antioxidantes); 100μM de melatonina (MEL) + 0,05% de ácido ascórbico (AA); 100μM de MEL + 90μL de Trolox C (TRO); 90μL de TRO + 0,05% de AA; e 100μM de MEL + 0,05%AA + 90μL de TRO. Depois, o sêmen foi resfriado em câmara fria a 5°C por duas horas, após esse período, envasado e lacrado em palhetas de 0,5mL, e então acondicionado sob vapor de nitrogênio liquido (N2L), a 8cm da lâmina líquida por 15 minutos, e depois imersos no N2L. As amostras foram analisadas quanto à motilidade espermática, integridade da membrana plasmática e da membrana acrossomal, atividade mitocondrial, teste de ligação e a quantificação do estresse oxidativo. As variáveis foram submetidas à análise de variância e medias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. A motilidade (total e progressiva) foi maior (P<0,05) quando adicionado à associação MEL+AA+TRO (67% e 49,89%), MEL+AA (64,37% e 45,61%) e MEL+TRO (61,65% e 41,15%) comparado ao tratamento controle (55,52% e 36,54%) e TRO+AA (57,07% e 38,40%). A adição de MEL+AA+TRO ao sêmen diluído manteve (P<0,05) a integridade da membrana plasmática (30,75%) e acrossomal (84,53%) dos espermatozoides quando comparado ao tratamento controle (15,60 e 68,16%, respectivamente), além de ter promovido maior (P<0,05) atividade mitocondrial (96,43%) quando comparado aos demais tratamentos. O número de espermatozoides que apresentaram à capacidade de ligação a membrana perivitelina da gema de ovo foi maior (P<0,05) no sêmen tratado com as diferentes associações de antioxidante quando comparado ao controle, sendo a associação MEL+AA+TRO (178,36%) superior (P<0,05) aos demais tratamentos. Não houve diferença (P>0,05) entre os tratamentos quanto a quantidade de espécies reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico produzidos. Conclui-se que a adição de MEL+AA+TRO ao sêmen diluído de carneiros, nas doses avaliadas, melhora a qualidade espermática após descongelação.

The relation between hyperglycemia and diabetic neuropathy has already been demonstrated in some studies. Among the theories proposed for its etiology the oxidative stress stands out. The performance of nitric oxide as a link between the metabolic and vascular neuropathogenic factors that triggers the diabetic neuropathy has already been put forward. This study aimed to assess the quantification and measurements of the cell body profile area (CBPA) of NADPH-diaphorase reactive (NADPH-dp) myenteric neurons of the jejunum of diabetic rats (induced by streptozotocin) supplemented with Ascorbic Acid (AA). These changes in the myenteric neurons seem to be related to the gastrointestinal disturbances observed in diabetes mellitus (DM). Twenty male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) were distributed in 4 groups (n=5): controls (C), control supplemented (CS), diabetic (D), and diabetic suplemented (DS). DM was induced by estreptozotocin (50mg/kg body wt). One week after the induction and confirmation of the DM (glycemia exam), animals of the groups CS and DS received 50mg of AA three times a week by gavage. After 90 days of experiment, the animals were anesthetized with lethal thiopental dose (40mg/kg) and the collected jejunum processed for the histochemistry NADPH-diaphorase technique. Whole-mount preparations were obtained for quantitative and morphometric analysis of the myenteric neurons. A quantity of jejunum neurons in the Group D (96±7.5) was not different (P>0.05) from Group DS (116±8.08), C (92±9.7), and CS (81±5.4), but in Group DS the quantity was higher (P<0.05) than in Group C and CS. The CBPA of neurons from Group D (189.50±2.68µm2) and DS (195.92±3.75µm2) were lower (P<0.05) than from Group C (225.13±4.37µm2) and CS (210.23±3.15µm2). The streptozotocin-induced DM did not change the jejunum-ileum area, the jejunum myenteric plexus space organization and the density of NADPH-dp neurons. The 50g AA-supplementation, three times a week, during 90 days, did not decrease hyperglycemia; however, it had a neuroprotective effect on the myenteric neurons, minimizing the increase on the CBPA of NADPH-dp neurons and increasing the amount of NADPD-dp neurons.
