Cryopreservation is the most promising approach for storing spermatozoa. However, it could lead substantial damage to spermatozoa. We present here a couple of functional tests and 2DE PAGE proteome map of bovine spermatozoa in order to evaluate the effect of each cryopreservation procedure, e.g. fresh semen, after cooling, adding cryo-protectant (CP) and thawing on spermatozoa. Our result demonstrated that the cryopreservation procedure reduced the motility (%), viability (%) ...
