Analysis of the antioxidantive qualities of sperm after total body X-irradiation of animals.

To study dynamics of natural antioxidant levels and antioxidant enzymes activities in rabbit seminal fluid in conditions of single total body X-ray irradiation in different doses. Materials and methods. Soviet Shinshilla white rabbit males 30-36 months old were taken into investigation.

Variation of rabbit sperm physiologic parameters after the X-ray exposure.

Objective: To study the impact of X-irradiation on the morpho-functional characteristics of rabbit spermatozoa and the contents of fructose, L-carnitine, α-tocopherol, ascorbate and citrate in the animal sperm.

Materials And Methods: The total body irradiation of rabbits (Soviet Shinchilla) was performed at the RUM-17 device in the dose range of 1.0-7.
