Retracted: Motility and oxidative–antioxidant capacity of Huso huso semen, stored at −80°C

Contents In this study, motility and oxidative–antioxidant capacity (thiobarbituric acid‐reactive substance level [ TBARS ], superoxide dismutase [ SOD ], catalase [ CAT ] and glutathione reductase [ GR ]) of beluga sturgeon ( Huso huso ) sperm, stored for 6 days at −80°C, were evaluated. After 2 da...

Description
Summary:Contents In this study, motility and oxidative–antioxidant capacity (thiobarbituric acid‐reactive substance level [ TBARS ], superoxide dismutase [ SOD ], catalase [ CAT ] and glutathione reductase [ GR ]) of beluga sturgeon ( Huso huso ) sperm, stored for 6 days at −80°C, were evaluated. After 2 days of storage, sperm motility was significantly decreased (no motile sperm were observed after 6 days of storage; p < .05), while TBARS and SOD values were significantly increased ( p < .05). CAT and GR activities did not show significant changes among storage times ( p > .05). Furthermore, all investigated parameters showed a significant difference between semen stored at 4°C (control) and −80°C during in vitro storage ( p < .05). Data from this work can potentially be useful in sturgeon sperm cryobanking.
