Abstract
This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of β-mercaptoethanol on lipid peroxidation and fertilization ability in vitro by xanthine (X)-xanthine oxidase (XO) system in boar spermatozoa frozen-thawed. When spermatozoa were inseminated in medium with X and/or XO, the penetration rates in all conditions were higher in medium with that than without β-mercaptoethanol. However, significant differences were not observed between medium with and without β-mercaptoethanol. The lipid peroxidation of sperm was evaluated on the basis of malondialdehyde (MDA) production.
