Sperm cryopreservation is widely used in assisted reproduction and male infertility therapy; however, it induces oxidative stress affecting sperm quality. This work evaluated the effect of the antioxidant MnTBAP during vitrification steps in human spermatozoa. First, the effect of MnTBAP on viability and ROS production was evaluated. Then, the spermatozoa were vitrified in straws with the vitrification, warming and post-warming incubation media separately supplemented with MnTBAP. An untreated control was included. The sperm viability, ROS production, total and How to cite this article: Uribe P, Cárcamo C, Navarro E, et al.
