“…These proteins have been demonstrated in fish living in polar environments that have the ability to resist freezing temperatures. Improved sperm quality has been reported after cryopreservation with AFPs [Prathalingam et al 2006;Younis et al 1998]. AFPs especially AFPIII seem to interact with unsaturated fatty acids in fish (S. aurata) and stabilize the plasma membrane organization during cryopreservation and thereby improve sperm quality after thawing [Beirao et al 2012].…”

Sperm cryopreservation preserves the fertility of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, ensures sperm are available at the time of oocyte retrieval in assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures and avoids the need for repeated sperm extraction surgeries in azoospermic patients. Conventional methods of cryopreservation involve storage in liquid nitrogen (LN 2 ), which causes a significant decline in sperm parameters such as motility and viability and results in DNA damage. Newer methods of sperm cryopreservation such as the LN 2 vapor method, vitrification, and experimental methods such as lyophilization, have significant advantages over the conventional methods in terms of cost effectiveness and ease of use. Density gradient centrifugation (DGC), swim up, and magnetic assisted cell sorting (MACS) can be used prior to or post-cryopreservation to improve post-thaw sperm quality. Cryopreservation in special carriers such as cryoloops and empty zona prevents the loss of small numbers of sperm during cryopreservation. This article will discuss these sperm preservation and selection techniques.

“…A recent paper by Robles et al (2005) explored the effect of their presence on embryos of winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus), a species also known to produce AFPs. Others like Payne et al (1994), Koshimoto and Mazur (2002), and Prathalingam et al (2006), evaluated the protective effect of the addition of antifreeze proteins originating from coldwater fishes during the freezing procedures of ram, mouse, and bovine sperm, respectively. No studies on the effect of antifreeze proteins on fish sperm cryoconservation could be found in the literature apart from the work by Karanova and Tsvetkova (1994) and Karanova et al (2002).…”

This study contributes to the identification of an adequate cryopreservation medium for wolffishes sperm (Anarhichas minor and A. lupus). Our results also confirm the presence of antifreeze proteins in the seminal fluid of the Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) that could facilitate the process of cryoconservation in association with increased post-thaw motility and fertilization rates. Cryo-Fish, a commercial diluent was the most efficient in our trials, with 80% motility post-thaw.

“…of mammalian sperm cryopreservation result in loss of sperm viability during freezing-thawing processes even though with significant improvements over the last several decades [1,2,3]. The main sources of sperm cryoinjury are cold shock, osmotic stress, ice crystal formation and/or oxidative damage, which finally cause loss of sperm viability and fertility [4,5,6].…”

Replacement of egg yolk obtained from commercial chicken with that of kampong chicken egg in the commonly used semen extender, TRIS, was investigated on cryopreserved goat spermatozoa movement characteristics. Fresh and frozen-thawed sperm movement characteristics such as progressive motility, progressive velocity and linearity were analyzed using computer assisted semen analyzer. Sperm samples in the experimental group showed apparently better sperm movement characteristics compared to those cryopreserved in commercial chicken egg yolk, however these differences were non-significant. Based on this preliminary study it could be concluded that kampong egg yolk offers an alternative choice in freezing protocol of goat spermatozoa for artificial insemination.
