Abstract:
The present study was carried out to evaluate the influence of ascorbic acid (@ 2mM after incorporation in on quality of spermatozoa after storage of epididymis at temperature 4 ⁰C & -196 ⁰C. Cytomorphological characteristics of epididymal semen from forty testes stored at room temperature, refrigerated and and -196 ⁰C were evaluated). Similarly, tris dillutor with ascorbic acid were infused inside the ligated epididymal part cauda and stored at 4 ⁰C (T2) and -196 ⁰C (T4) and further evaluated for cryoprotectant efficacy of ascorbic acid. A significant variation in initial motility, viability, and abnormal sperm count were observed among the groups.
