Abstract

Oxidative stress due to excessive production of reactive oxygen species ROS has been associated with defective sperm function and infertility. ROS form in the tissue injury in liver brain lung testis and other organs. Organisms have developed many defense mechanisms to protect themselves from injuries by ROS. The small molecule antioxidants such as Vit C and Vit E are able to interact with oxidizing radicals directly. Also tea catechin and polyphenols have been found to be efficient scavengers of free radicals in a number of in vitro systems. This study was conducted to determine whether treatment with Vit C and polyphenol protects porcine spermatozoa by inhibiting ROS generation induced by xanthine-xanthine oxidase system X-XO changes spermatogenesis and antioxidant activity of testis in Vit C deficiency guinea pigs. The first model received Vit C-free diet with low level Vit C water in orally Vit C 50. The second model was dieted with rich Vit C 100 and the third model received Vit C-free diet. The extended porcine semen served as a control the extended semen was treated with X-XO and the treatment semen supplemented with Vit C 0.0025 and polyphenol 0.01. The percentage of motile spermatozoa was evaluated by computer-assisted sperm analysis CASA and viability hypoosmotic swelling test HOST and chlorteracycline/Hochest 258 CTC staining was evaluated as parameters of sperm function test.
