There is limited information on the scientific literature about the effect of in vitro exposure of fish sperm to pesticides. In vitro effect of cypermethrin on sperm quality and oxidative stress has not yet been fully investigated. Therefore, the effects of cypermethrin, a type II pyrethroid insecticide, on quality and oxidative stress of spermatozoa were examined in vitro. To explore the potential in vitro toxicity of cypermethrin, fish spermatozoa were incubated with different concentrations of cypermethrin (1.025, 2.05 and 4.1 mu g/l) for 2 h. The motility rate and duration of sperm were determined after exposure to cypermethrin. Reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in spermatozoa were analyzed for determination of oxidant and antioxidant balance. Our results indicated that spermatozoa motility and duration significantly decreased with exposure to cypermethrin. Additionally, activity of GSH-Px (P < 0.05) and MDA and GSH levels increased in a concentration-dependent manner while CAT activity decreased (P < 0.05). Consequently, the oxidant and antioxidant status and sperm quality were affected by quantitative changes and different concentrations of cypermethrin. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

In present study, it was examined whether addition of different antioxidants to the cryopreservation extenders had an effect on semen post-thaw fertility and motility in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and also it was investigated the sperm characteristics post-thaw sperm characteristics and fertility. The collected semen was pooled to minimize individual variation. Each pooled ejaculate was split into 12 equal aliquots and diluted with base extenders supplemented with the antioxidants, and a base extender with no additives (control). The pooled semen samples diluted at the ratio of 1:10 by the extenders were subjected to cryopreservation. Antioxidants were separately added to the extenders (one per experimental group): catalase (250 U/l), superoxide dismutase (250 U/l), peroxidase (250 U/l), oxidized glutathione (1.5 mmol/l), reduced glutathione (1.5 mmol/l), L-methionine (1.5 mmol/l), uric acid (0.25 mmol/l), L-ascorbic acid (0.5 mmol/l), alpha-tocopherol (2.0 mmol/l), beta-carotene (0.5 mmol/l) and camitine (0.5 mmol/l). After dilution the semen was aspirated into 0.25 ml straws, the straws were placed on the tray, frozen for 10 min, and plunged into liquid nitrogen. Our results indicated that the post-thaw motility rate increased in extenders supplemented with uric acid, L-methionine, SOD, L-carnitine, alpha-tocopherol and L-reduced glutathione (p < 0.05). The motility duration of frozen thawed semen increased in extenders supplemented with uric acid, L-methionine, SOD, alpha-tocopherol and L-reduced glutathione (p < 0.05). Fertilization rate and hatching rate of frozen-thawed semen was not affected by the tested antioxidants. Consequently, the tested antioxidants affected the motility parameters and cryopreservation extenders could be supplement with antioxidants. This study suggested usage of antioxidants in the cryopreservation of rainbow trout. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
