Freezability of water buffalo bull (Bubalus bubalis) spermatozoa is improved with the addition of curcumin (diferuoyl methane) in semen extender

Summary Effects of curcumin as antioxidant in extender were evaluated on freezability of buffalo spermatozoa. Semen from each of the five bulls (n = 3 replicates, six ejaculates/bull, a total of 30 ejaculates) was diluted in Tris‐citric acid extender containing curcumin (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 mM) or...

Zusammenfassung:Summary Effects of curcumin as antioxidant in extender were evaluated on freezability of buffalo spermatozoa. Semen from each of the five bulls (n = 3 replicates, six ejaculates/bull, a total of 30 ejaculates) was diluted in Tris‐citric acid extender containing curcumin (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 mM) or control. At pre‐freezing and post‐thawing, total antioxidant contents (μM/L) and lipid peroxidation levels (μM/ml) were higher (p
