| Abstract | Sperm cryopreservation can be a helpful tool in reproductive management and preservation of biodiversity. However, the freezing methodologies lead to some damage in cells structure and function, that may compromise post-thaw sperm activity. Cryoprotectant supplementation with sugars proved to be a successful strategy to reduce cryodamage in sperm of several species, once allowing to stabilize the plasma membrane constituents. Therefore, this work intends to understand the effects of sugars in the plasma membrane, DNA integrity, and oxidative response during Portuguese oyster sperm cryopreservation. Three cryoprotectants solutions with an initial concentration of 20% DMSO and 20% DMSO complemented with 0.9 M trehalose or sucrose, in artificial seawater were employed. Sperm samples of mature males were individually collected and diluted 1:10 (v/v) in artificial seawater, followed by cryoprotectants addition (1:1 (v/v)). Thereafter, sperm was loaded into 0.5 mL straws, maintained at 4ºC for 10 min, frozen in a programmable biofreezer at -6ºC/min from 0 to -70°C and stored in liquid nitrogen. Samples were thawed in a 37°C bath for 10s. Several techniques were performed to evaluate post-thaw quality. Sperm motility and DNA integrity were analyzed using CASA (computer assisted sperm analysis) software and comet assay. Flow cytometry was employed to determine membrane and acrosome integrity and to detect intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis activity. Lipid peroxidation was determined by MDA (malondialdehyde) detection using spectrophotometry. Sperm antioxidant capacity was evaluated through glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and superoxide dismutase. Motility was not affected by the extenders containing sugars; these compounds did not reduce the DNA damage. However, both trehalose and sucrose protected cells plasma membrane by increasing cell viability and significantly reducing MDA content. The same finding was observed for the reactive oxygen species, where live cells registered significantly lower levels of ROS in samples cryopreserved with sugars. The activity of antioxidant enzymes was higher in treatments supplement with sugars, although not significant. In conclusion, the addition of sugars, seems to play an important role, in protecting the Crassostrea angulata sperm membrane during cryopreservation, showing potential to improve the post-thaw sperm quality and protect the cells from cryoinjuries. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
