Resumen:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate a freezing extender supplemented with recombinant TrxAFNIIx4His6, a reported decapacitating factor. Semen samples were diluted in tris-egg yolk medium with 0, 1.5µM and 3.0µM of TrxAFNIIx4His6. Computer-assisted sperm motility tracking and subpopulations evaluation showed that addition of TrxAFNIIx4His6 improved post-thaw total and progressive motility at both concentrations evaluated. TrxAFNIIx4His6 increased the sperm subpopu-lation with the highest progressiveness and great velocity and decreased the subpopulation of poorly motile and almost non-progressive sperm. Incorporation of TrxAFNIIx4His6 to freezing extender shows potential for the development of cryoprotection media which may lead to improved fertility after artificial insemination.
