Background: Extensive use of different nanoparticles caused significant concerns about their biological safety.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cryopreservation on ram semen after adding magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to separate X and Y chromosome-bearing spermatozoa.
Methods: The experimental ram sperms in this research included treated spermatozoa (50 μg/ml MNPs) and non-treated spermatozoa. DNA damage of spermatozoa was examined using an acridine orange (AO) assay. Sperm viability, membrane functionality, abnormality and malondialdehyde (MDA) level were also measured.
Results: Results indicated that the pre-treatment of ram semen extender with MNPs did not significantly affect the semen parameters such as viability, membrane functionality, abnormality, as well as lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels and DNA integrity in comparison with the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: These observations suggest that pre-treatment of ram semen extender with MNPs after semen sexing did not have adverse effects on different semen parameters after cryopreservation.

Current study was aimed to assess the β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) on delivery of cholesterol, and substitution of fructose and glycerol with trehalose on the ram semen cryosurvival. Samples were collected, diluted with Tris-citric acid-LDL extender, pooled, and used. In experiment I, βCD and MβCD carriers were used and compared to deliver the cholesterol (at 0, 0.

The objective of this study was to examine the impact of freeze-thawing on the levels of oxidative stress, fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E, and K, cholesterol, and amino acids, as well as on spermatological parameters, in ram semen. Semen was collected and pooled from each of the seven rams twice a week for three weeks. The mixed semen was diluted with tris + egg yolk diluent at 38 °C (Group 38 °C) and the temperature was reduced to 5 °C (Group 5 °C).

Anethole, an antioxidant found in plants, appears to improve the survival of spermatozoa during semen cryopreservation. This study assessed the effects of commercial trans-anethole in ram semen cryopreservation. Thirty ejaculates from six rams were diluted in media containing anethole at the following concentrations: CONT (0 μM), AN10 (10 μM), AN50 (50 μM), and AN100 (100 μM).
