Enhancing post-thaw sperm quality in rams: quinic acid as a natural antioxidant
In conclusion, QA exerted dose-dependent protective effects on sperm motility, viability, HMMP, and DNA stability during cryopreservation. The optimal concentration (100 μg/mL) effectively mitigated oxidative stress and improved post-thaw semen quality, suggesting that QA could serve as a promising antioxidant and cryoprotective additive for enhancing the success of artificial insemination programs in rams.
