ABSTRACT
The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that addition of anticaspase cocktails (inhibiting caspases and thus blocking apoptosis) to the extenders increases the post-thaw viability of equine spermatozoa. The addition of caspase inhibitors failed to improve the acrosome and plasma membrane integrity of spermatozoa, suggesting that in equine sperm cryopreservation protocols, the addition of these caspase inhibitors to cryopreservation medium may not be beneficial in protecting the sperm from the stress of cryopreservation.
