“…Other polyphenolic substances that have been widely used in many different types of antioxidant assays are honeybee products such as honey, propolis, and royal jelly. Propolis is a resinous substance used by bees, rich in flavonoids, phenolic acids, steroids, and amino acids that is known for their antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, detoxicant, antioxidant, antiapoptotic and other benefic proprieties in humans and animals, including protection of the male reproductive system [ 155 , 156 ]. There are many studies assessing the antioxidant effect of propolis and royal jelly on sperm protection.…”

Antioxidants in Fish Sperm and the Potential Role of Melatonin

In recent years, the effects of novel antioxidants have played an important role in the research focusing on fish cell protection. As food demand grows, aquaculture production becomes more intensive, and fish are more exposed to oxidative stress conditions, like high densities, temperature shifting, frequent fish handling and samplings, and prophylactic or disease treatments, which expose fish to a different environment. Particularly in reproduction, germ cells lose antioxidant capacity with spermatogenesis, as spermatozoa are more prone to oxidative stress. Antioxidants have been used in a variety of fish physiological problems including in reproduction and in the establishment of cryopreservation protocols. From the most used antioxidants to natural plant food and herbs, and endogenously produced antioxidants, like melatonin, a review of the literature available in terms of their effects on the protection of fish spermatozoa is presented here in a classified structure. Several direct and indirect approaches to improve gamete quality using antioxidants administration are mentioned (through feed supplementation or by adding in cryopreservation media), as well as factors affecting the efficiency of these molecules and their mechanisms of action. Special attention is given to the unclear melatonin pathway and its potential scavenger activity to prevent and counteract oxidative stress damage on fish spermatozoa.

“…On the other hand, the improvement of fertility rates and hatchability/total eggs in heat-stressed animals that treated with RJ could be attributable to the significant compounds of RJ for example proteins, micronutrients, antioxidants and phenolic that enhance liver and kidneys work to decrease in lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress synthesis (Abdelnour et al, 2020). RJ can have the option to restrain the creation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and protein oxidation (El-Hanoun et al, 2014 andElnagar, 2010).…”

A total of 168 laying hens and 21 cocks of Matrouh local strain at 24 weeks of age (At 43.93 % egg production)was used in a completely randomized design among seven treatment groups with three replicates per treatment group (8 hens and 1 cock per replicate).Birds are biweekly injected, up to 36 weeks of age (12 weeks). The 1 st treatment group of birds were injected with saline solution 0.9% only and served as control, The birds in 2 nd and 3 rd treatment groups, were injected subcutaneously with 100 and 200 μg Gibberellic acid (GA3)/kg body weight (BW), respectively. The 4 th and 5 th treatment groups were injected with50 and 100 μg Royal Jelly (RJ)/kg BW, respectively. The 6 th treatment group was injected subcutaneously with 50μg GA3 plus25μg RJ/kg BW. The 7 th treatment group was injected subcutaneously with 100 μg GA3 plus 50μg RJ/kg BW. The same 7 treatment groups were used also, on 21 cocks in individual batteries to take semen quality. The obtained results revealed that, Injection with 100 , 200 μg GA3 or50 , 100 μg RJ /kg BW of Matrouh chicks improved significantly (P<0.05 and P<0.01) body weight changes (BWC),fertility eggs %, hatchability/total eggs % and chicks hatch weight (g), sperm-cell concentration (X 10 9 /ml) and sperm motility (%), while significantly (P<0.05) decreased each of dead spermatozoa (%), sperm abnormalities (%), and acrosomal damage (%) as compared with the control group. Layers injected by 100 , 200 μgGA3/kg body weight showed significantly (P≤0. 05 and P≤0. 01) improved feed conversion ratio (FCR), egg production (EP)% and egg mass (EM) compared with those the groups 170 EZZAT et al. 50 , 100 μg RJ /kg BW and control groups through the whole of the experimental period. Injection with 50, 100 μg of RJ /kg BW caused to increase significantly (P≤0. 01) in IgG and IgM and primary and secondary antibody titer against sheep red blood cells (SRBC's) in hens as compared with100, 200 μg of GA3and the control group. Injection 100 , 200 μg of GA3 /kg BW caused to increase significantly (P≤0. 05 and P≤0. 01) in concentration of estrogen in hens and testosterone of cocks, FSH and LH in hens and cocks when compared with those in control group. In conclusion, injection with 100, 200 μg GA3 /kg BW improved productive, reproductive and physiological performance of males and females Matrouh. Furthermore, the RJ-treated groups had significantly improved immune responses in hens and the quality of semen parameters in cocks under summer season conditions in Egypt.

The present study focuses on the effect of different levels of ergothioneine and thawing temperature on rooster semen cryopreservation. Semen was diluted in Lake extender containing ergothioneine at 5, 10, 15, and 20 µM and cryopreserved. Two thawing temperatures (37°C for 30 s and 60°C for 5 s) were consequently examined. Sperm motility parameter, membrane integrity, abnormal morphology, viability, apoptotic status, mitochondria activity, and lipid peroxidation were determined after freeze-thaw process. Ergothioneine levels of 5 and 10 µM led to higher ( P < 0.05) total motility (66.58 ± 1.44 and 72.11±1.44, respectively) and average path velocity ( VAP ) (34.54 ± 0.89, 37.28 ± 0.89, respectively). Higher ( P < 0.05) significant membrane integrity and mitochondria activity after freeze-thawing were observed in the groups supplemented with 10 µM ergothioneine (68.62 ± 1.24 and 69.12 ± 1.26, respectively). Also, 5 and 10 µM of ergothioneine led to the lowest significant percentage of apoptotic and dead sperm. The total motility and progressive motility resulted in significantly ( P < 0.05) higher amount when sperm were thawed with 60°C (60.58 ± 0.91 and 24.76 ± 0.53, respectively) compared to thawed sperm in 37°C. The membrane integrity, viability and mitochondria activity led to significantly ( P < 0.05) higher when sperm were thawed with 60°C (58.2 ± 0.78, 63.21 ± 0.80 and 56.85 ± 0.79, respectively). It could be concluded the addition of 5 and 10 µM ergothioneine in the semen extender and thawing temperature at 60˚C in 5 s can be an efficient strategy to preserve rooster cryopreserved semen quality.
