Antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects of taxifolin in H 2O 2-induced oxidative stress in HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cell line. Reprod Toxicol 2024; 126:108585. [PMID: 38574953 DOI: 10.1016/j.reprotox.2024.108585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
Oxidative stress has been implicated in numerous pregnancy-related disorders. Biologically active plant secondary metabolites, which are present in everyday diet, could prove effective therapeutic agents in preventing these disorders. This study evaluated effects of taxifolin (dihydroquercetin) on ROS production, markers of oxidative damage to lipids and proteins, activity of antioxidant enzymes and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in H2O2-induced oxidative stress in trophoblast HTR-8/SVneo cells. Taxifolin in 10 µM and 100 µM concentrations attenuated oxidative damage to lipids and proteins, as evidenced by a decrease in MDA content, extracellular LDH activity, carbonyl groups and nitrite contents. A reduction in the activity of antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT and GPx in cells pre-treated with taxifolin, prior to H2O2 exposure, was also observed, along with a reduction in intracellular ROS production. Both evaluated concentrations of taxifolin showed anti-inflammatory activity in trophoblast cells, by reducing production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6. In this model of H2O2-induced oxidative stress, taxifolin showed marked antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities in trophoblast cells, adding further evidence of its protective effects and showing potential as a therapeutic agent in preventing adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Jaber FA. Quercetin Mitigates Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, Apoptosis, and Histopathological Alterations Induced by Chronic Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticle Exposure in the Rat Spleen. MICROSCOPY AND MICROANALYSIS : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF MICROSCOPY SOCIETY OF AMERICA, MICROBEAM ANALYSIS SOCIETY, MICROSCOPICAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 2023; 29:1718-1729. [PMID: 37584520 DOI: 10.1093/micmic/ozad081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023]
Abstract
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO2) have become widespread but are accompanied by various health concerns. Quercetin (QT), a naturally occurring flavonoid in fruits and vegetables, exhibits potent antioxidant properties. This research examined the toxic impacts of nano-TiO2 on the structure and function of the spleen in adult male rats and assessed the possible protective effects of QT. A set of randomly grouped rats was established, consisting of a control group, a QT group (50 mg/kg/day), a nano-TiO2 group (300 mg/kg/day), and a QT-nano-TiO2 group. These substances were orally administered to the respective groups for 90 days. Nano-TiO2 significantly induced oxidative stress in the spleen, leading to reduced levels of serum immunoglobulins. Additionally, there was a notable increase in the expression of apoptotic markers and proinflammatory cytokines. These biochemical disturbances were accompanied by morphological changes in the spleens of rats exposed to nano-TiO2. However, coadministration of QT and nano-TiO2 effectively mitigated most nano-TiO2-induced alterations in the spleen, including apoptotic and proinflammatory responses, antioxidant imbalance, serum immunoglobulin levels, and histopathological changes. It can be concluded that QT has the potential to function as a protective agent against the detrimental impacts of nano-TiO2 on the spleen by improving the antioxidant defense mechanism and modulating the apoptotic and inflammatory responses.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the protective effects and molecular mechanism of magnolol supplementation on rotenone-induced oxidative stress in broilers. Two hundred and eighty-eight old male AA broilers were randomly divided into four groups: the CON group: basic diet with sunflower oil injection; the ROT group: basic diet with 24 mg/kg BW rotenone; the MAG + ROT group: basic diet with 300 mg/kg magnolol and rotenone injection; and the MAG group: basic diet with 300 mg/kg magnolol and sunflower oil injection. At 21−27 days of age, the broilers in each group were intraperitoneally injected with rotenone (24 mg/kg BW) or the same volume of sunflower oil. The results showed that magnolol reversed the decrease in ADG post-injection and FBW via rotenone induction. Compared to the ROT group, MAG + ROT group enhanced the average daily gain post injection (p < 0.05). Magnolol supplement could improve the activity and mRNA expression of rotenone-suppressed antioxidant enzymes such as GSH and GSH-PX (p < 0.05). Similarly, the MDA content as an oxidative damage marker was significantly reduced after magnolol addition (p < 0.05). The hepatocyte apoptosis and the mRNA expression of apoptosis-related signaling pathway in the ROT group increased, but magnolol supplementation inhibited rotenone-induced apoptosis through the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Through RNA transcriptome analysis, there were 277 differential genes expressions (DEGs) among the CON group with ROT group, and 748 DEGs were found between the ROT group and the MAG + ROT group. KEGG pathway enrichment found that magnolol relieved rotenone-induced energy metabolism disorder and oxidative damage through signaling pathways such as MAPK and mTOR. In conclusion, magnolol attenuates rotenone-induced hepatic injury and oxidative stress of broilers, presumably by restoring hepatic antioxidant function via the MAPK/mTOR/Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Nectandra leucantha has been used in traditional medicine. Several metabolites isolated from N. leucantha extracts displayed immunomodulatory, antileishmanial properties, but the determination of the toxicological profile in mammals has not previously been performed. In this study, the ethanol extract from N. leucantha barks (EENl) was characterized by HPLC/HRESIMS. To study acute toxicity, female mice received EENl in a single dose of 100, 300, 1000, or 2000 mg/kg bw. Later, sub-acute toxicity was introduced in female and male mice by oral gavage at 100, 500 or 1000 mg/kg bw for 28 consecutive days. Hematological and biochemical profiles from the blood as well as histological analysis from the liver and kidney were performed. The HPLC/HRESIMS analysis of the EENl revealed the presence of six neolignans chemically related to dehydrodieugenol B. In the oral acute and sub-chronic studies, EENl did not produce in all doses evaluated any alteration in behavior, biochemical, hematological, body weight gain and food intake or sudden death in Swiss mice. In addition, histopathological data did not reveal any disturbance in liver and kidney morphology after 28 days of EENl treatment. Our results indicate that EENl at dosage levels up to 2000 mg/kg bw is non-toxic and can be considered safe for mammals.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), and Huntington's disease (HD) are characterized by cognitive and motor dysfunctions and neurodegeneration. These diseases have become more severe over time and cannot be cured currently. Until now, most treatments for these diseases are only used to relieve the symptoms. Taxifolin (TAX), 3,5,7,3,4-pentahydroxy flavanone, also named dihydroquercetin, is a compound derived primarily from Douglas fir and Larix gemelini. TAX has been confirmed to exhibit various pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammation, anti-cancer, anti-virus, and regulation of oxidative stress effects. In the central nervous system, TAX has been demonstrated to inhibit Aβ fibril formation, protect neurons and improve cerebral blood flow, cognitive ability, and dyskinesia. At present, TAX is only applied as a health additive in clinical practice. This review aimed to summarize the application of TAX in neurodegenerative diseases and the underlying neuroprotective mechanisms, such as suppressing inflammation, attenuating oxidative stress, preventing Aβ protein formation, maintaining dopamine levels, and thus reducing neuronal loss.

Abstract
Exposure to Pb is widely spreading and has far-reaching negative effects on living systems. This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects of Pb, through biochemical profiling and the ameliorative effects of quercetin against Pb-toxicity. Twenty-five male Wistar albino mice were divided into the following five groups. The CON-group received normal saline; the Pb-group received PbAc; the Pb + Q-CRN group received lead acetate followed by quercetin; the Q-CRN group received quercetin; and the CRN group received corn oil. After 4 weeks, the mice were euthanized. It was speculated that Pb significantly increased the levels of serine, threonine, and asparagine and decreased the levels of valine, lysine, and glutamic acid in the plasma of Pb-group, thus impairing amino acid metabolism. However, in the Pb + Q-CRN group, the level of these six amino acids was restored significantly due to the ameliorative effect of quercetin. The presence of lipid metabolites (L-carnitine, sphinganine, phytosphingosine, and lysophosphatidylcholine) in mice serum was confirmed by ESI/MS. The GPx, SOD, GSH, and CAT levels were significantly decreased, and the MDA level was significantly increased, thus confirming the oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the Pb group. The antioxidant effect of quercetin was elucidated in the Pb + Q-CRN group. Expression of CPT-I, CPT-II, LCAT, CROT, CACT, and MTR genes was significantly upregulated in the liver of Pb goup mice. Hence, the findings of this study proved that Pb exposure induced oxidative stress, upregulated gene expression, and impaired the lipid and amino acid metabolism in mice.

Abstract
The study of the toxic effects of emamectin benzoate (EMB) was conducted in male mice. Mice were randomly divided into 4 groups; control group, EMB25 group (1/30 LD50 = 25 mg/kg/day), EMB50 group (1/15 LD50 = 50 mg/kg/day), and EMB100 group (1/7.5 LD50 = 100 mg/kg/day). Control group received water (placebo), and EMB groups were administered by oral gavage for 14 days. The superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) enzyme activities, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) and protein carbonyl (PC) levels, and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPases) enzymes, which are ion transport enzymes (Na+/K+ ATPase, Ca+2 ATPase, Mg+2 ATPase), acetylcholinesterase (AChE, neurotoxicity biomarker), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) enzyme activities (inflammatory biomarker), were measured by spectrophotometric methods. 8-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine level (8-OHdG, DNA oxidation biomarker) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent analysis (ELISA) technique. The results showed a decrease in SOD, CAT and GPx enzyme activities in the brain tissue and an increase in GST enzyme activity in the EMB groups compared to the control group. Meanwhile, the enzyme activities of the ion transport enzymes Na+/K+ ATPase, Ca+2 ATPase, and Mg+2 ATPase, and AChE enzyme activity showed significant inhibition. In addition, MPO enzyme activity, 8-OHdG, PC, and TBARS levels were increased. The results showed that dose-dependent EMB exposure induced different physiological processes with enzymatic and biomolecular multi-biomarkers in the brain tissue of male mice and caused neurotoxic effects.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is the trigger of several diseases. It is an imbalance between the production of free radicals and antioxidants. This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant capacity and the protective property of Rosa canina fruits and apple cider vinegar combined or not against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced toxicity in Wistar rats. The experiment included five groups: group 1 received distilled water (10 mL/kg b.wt), group 2 received H2O2 10% (10 mL/kg b.wt), group 3 received H2O2 10% (10 mL/kg b.wt) and apple vinegar (2 mL/kg b.wt); group 4 received H2O2 10% (10 mL/kg b.wt) and apple vinegar supplemented with Rosa canina fruits extract (300 mg/kg b.wt); group 5 received H2O2 10% (10 mL/kg b.wt) and extract of Rosa canina fruits (300 mg/kg b.wt). The doses were given once daily via a gavage. The antioxidant capacity of apple vinegar and Rosa canina extract was analyzed, and AST, ALT, PAL, urea, and creatinine were determined on day 22 of the experiment. In addition, the kidney and the liver tissues were analyzed. The results showed that H2O2 caused a significant elevation of blood urea, blood creatinine, and transaminases. The histopathology examination revealed that H2O2 caused congestion, hemorrhage, and Bowman’s space enlarged. On the other hand, the results clearly showed that apple vinegar and Rosa canina fruits counterbalance the biochemical and histological changes induced by H2O2. In conclusion, the two natural products studied in this work are effective against the harmful effect of oxidative stress, which explains their use in traditional medicine.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic agent against hematogenous and solid tumors with undesirable side effects including immunosuppression. Quercetin (QUR), a natural flavonoid abundant in fruits and vegetables, has a potent antioxidant activity. The aim of the current study was to assess the impact of QUR on DOX-induced hematological and immunological dysfunctions in a rodent model. Randomly grouped rats were treated as follows: control, QUR alone (50 mg/kg for 15 days per os), DOX alone (2.5 mg/kg I/P, three times a week, for two weeks), and co-treated rats with QUR for 15 days prior to and concomitantly with DOX (for two weeks), at the doses intended for groups two and three. DOX alone significantly disrupted the erythrogram and leukogram variables. Serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, and IgE) levels and the activities of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in spleen were declined. The DNA damage traits in spleen were elevated with an upregulation of the expression of the apoptotic markers (p53 and Caspase-3 genes) and the proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α genes), while the expression of CAT gene was downregulated. These biochemical changes were accompanied by morphological changes in the spleen of DOX-treated rats. Co-treatment with QUR abated most of the DOX-mediated alterations in hematological variables, serum immunoglobulins, and spleen antioxidant status, pro-inflammatory and apoptotic responses, and histopathological alterations. In essence, these data suggest that QUR alleviated DOX-induced toxicities on the bone marrow, spleen, and antibody-producing cells. Supplementation of chemotherapy patients with QUR could circumvent the DOX-induced inflammation and immunotoxicity, and thus prevent chemotherapy failure.

Abstract
Elaeagnus angustifolia var. orientalis (L.)Kuntze fruit contains a large number of naturally occurring molecules present as glycoside, methylated, and methyl ester conjugates, which should be hydolysed or transformed to become bioactive forms. For this purpose, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN-3 was selected to ferment Elaeagnus angustifolia var. orientalis (L.)Kuntze fruit juice (EOJ). After fermentation, the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity of the EOJ increased significantly compared to the non-fermented EOJ. Using widely-targeted metabolomics analysis, polyphenolic compounds involved in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway were determined to be up-regulated in the fermented EOJ. In addition, the metabolites generated by 8 deglycosidation, 5 demethylation, 5 hydrogenation, and 28 other reactions were detected in higher concentrations in the fermented EOJ compared to the non-fermented EOJ. Interestingly, these up-regulated metabolites have higher antioxidant and other biological activities than their metabolic precursors, which provide a theoretical basis for the development of Bifidobacterium-fermented plant products with stronger functional activities.

Modifying influence of polyphenols on hematotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, and hepatotoxicity induced by liquefied petroleum gas in rats. Toxicol Res (Camb) 2021; 10:751-760. [PMID: 34484666 DOI: 10.1093/toxres/tfab058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2021] [Revised: 05/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective This study was designed to investigate the effects of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) on hematotoxic, cardiotoxic, and hepatotoxic indices and the modifying influence of selected polyphenols. Methods Adult male Wistar rats were exposed to1000 ppm LPG for 10 min at 12-h interval for 30 days with or without cotreatment with 50 mg/kg rutin, quercetin, tannic acid, or gallic acid followed by hematological, biochemical, and histopathological evaluations in animal tissues. Results Exposure to LPG induced hematotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, and hepatotoxicity. This is reflected in alterations to levels or activities of blood parameters (hemoglobin, packed cell volume, red blood cells, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and platelets), enzymatic and nonenzymatic oxidative stress markers, nitrite, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase-MB, transaminases, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, bilirubin, and plasma albumin. LPG exposure also caused dyslipidemia and histoarchitectural changes. Treatment with the selected polyphenols effectively attenuated LPG-induced toxicity in rat tissues. Conclusion The results indicate that continuous exposure to LPG could lead to blood-, heart-, and liver-related diseases and dietary polyphenols could provide benefits in diseases associated with LPG inhalation toxicity.

Protective effect of taxifolin against prooxidant and proinflammatory kidney damage associated with acrylamide in rats. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 139:111660. [PMID: 34243628 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.111660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Revised: 04/19/2021] [Accepted: 04/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
The current study investigates the biochemical and histopathological effects of taxifolin on acrylamide-induced kidney damage. A 50 mg/kg dose of taxifolin was administered via oral gavage to the taxifolin + acrylamide (TACR) group (n-6) consisting of male albino Wistar rats. The same volume of distilled water used as solvent was orally administered to the acrylamide (ACR) (n-6) and healthy (HG) (n-6) groups. One hour after the administration of taxifolin and distilled water, a 20 mg/kg dose of acrylamide was orally administered to the TACR and ACR groups. This procedure was repeated once a day for 30 days. In the acrylamide group, malondialdehyde (MDA), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) levels were found to be high, total glutathione (tGSH) levels were found to be low, and there was severe interstitial haemorrhage; additionally, tubular necrosis, tubular atrophy, leucocyte infiltration, and glomerular structures with expanded Bowman's space were observed. In the taxifolin group, where the increase of MDA, IL-1β, and TNF-α and the decrease of tGSH associated with acrylamide have been prevented, any histopathological finding other than mild necrosis and atrophic tubules was not found. This suggests that Taxifolin would prevent kidney tissue from acrylamide-induced damage would be effective in treating acrylamide-induced nephrotoxicity, inhibiting the increase of MDA, IL-1β and TNF-α, and decreasing tGSH associated with acrylamide.

Abstract
The widespread use of plastic products has led to the widespread presence of plasticizers in the environment. As a common environmental pollutant, research on plasticizer toxicity is insufficient in fish cells. In particular, research on the toxicity of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in grass carp hepatocyte lines is insufficient. To further explore these mechanisms, we treated grass carp hepatocytes with 300 μM DBP, a common plasticizer, for 24 h, and hepatocytes were also treated with 1 μM taxifolin (TAX), an antioxidant, for 24 h to study its antagonistic effect on DBP. After DBP exposure, oxidative stress levels and inflammation in hepatocytes increased, and the mRNA and protein expression of apoptosis-related markers increased significantly, leading to hepatocyte apoptosis. Moreover, AO/EB staining, Hoechst staining and flow cytometry also showed that the level of apoptotic cells increased after DBP exposure. Notably, both TAX pretreatment and TAX simultaneous treatment alleviated oxidative stress, increased inflammatory factor levels and apoptosis induced by DBP. In comparison, the effect of simultaneous TAX treatment was better than that of TAX pretreatment. Our results showed that TAX alleviates DBP-induced apoptosis in grass carp hepatocytes through oxidative stress and inflammation, and TAX pretreatment and simultaneous treatment exhibited specific effects. Specifically, simultaneous treatment had a better effect. Our study assessed the toxicity of DBP in grass carp hepatocytes and provided a theoretical and research basis for the in vivo study of animal models in the future. The innovation of this study involves the exploration of the interaction between DBP and TAX for the first time. This study may enrich knowledge regarding the theoretical mechanism of DBP toxicity in fish hepatocytes and propose methods address DBP toxicity.

The effect of taxifolin on oxidative ovarian damage and reproductive dysfunctions induced by antipsychotic drugs in female rats. J Obstet Gynaecol Res 2021; 47:2140-2148.

Abstract
AIM Typical antipsychotics (TAPs) are commonly used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. However, extrapyramidal disorders, hyperprolactinemia, and reproductive dysfunctions have been observed in women during the use of TAPs. For this reason, less toxic and prolactin-sparing atypical antipsychotic (AAP) drugs such as clozapine (CLN) have been developed. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of taxifolin on possible ovarian and reproductive toxicity associated with CLN and haloperidol (HPL) in female Wistar albino rats. METHODS The rats were grouped as healthy control group (HCG), CLN, HPL, taxifolin + clozapine (TCL), and taxifolin + haloperidol (THL). Drugs were administered to the groups for 28 days. At the end of that time, ovarian tissues of six rats from each group were taken for histopathological and biochemical analyses. Remaining six rats in groups were examined for evaluation of reproductive dysfunctions. RESULTS Severe degeneration and vacuolization were observed in the primary, secondary, and primordial follicles of the ovarian tissues of CLN- and HPL-treated groups, of which malondialdehyde (MDA) level was high and total glutathione (tGSH) level was low. In the taxifolin-treated groups, taxifolin significantly prevented the increase of MDA level and decrease of tGSH level, and the severity of histopathological damage was found to be lower. In addition, it was found that taxifolin significantly prevented infertility and delay in pregnancy associated with CLN and HPL. CONCLUSIONS The results of this experiment suggest that taxifolin can be beneficial in treating oxidative ovarian damage, infertility, and reproductive dysfunctions induced by CLN and HPL.

Abstract
Finger millet (FM) and kodo millet (KM) are known for their multiple health benefits. Several studies have indicated the antioxidant and hypoglycemic potential of polyphenol rich extracts (PREs) from them. However, the protective roles of PREs from these millets in overcoming high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity have not yet been investigated. This study aimed to identify the polyphenols in FM-PREs and KM-PREs using HPLC-DAD/ESI-MS, and to evaluate the role of PREs in mitigating lipopolysaccharide induced inflammation in murine macrophage cells and in the reduction of HFD-induced metabolic complications using male Swiss albino mice. The results suggested that KM-PRE had higher polyphenol content than FM-PRE, of which taxifolin (98%) and catechin (86.6%) were the major fractions respectively. FM-PRE and KM-PRE prevented obesity, however, KM-PRE was more profound in preventing weight gain, adipose tissue hypertrophy, hepatic steatosis, and systemic inflammation than FM-PRE. This study suggests that FM-PRE and KM-PRE could be exploited for developing functional foods or nutraceuticals against obesity and comorbidities.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the comparative effects of taxifolin hydrate and trehalose on the quality of frozen-thawed ram spermatozoa for the first time. Ejaculates collected from six mature rams were pooled, and divided to eight equal aliquots to extend them with different concentrations of glycerol (%5 and %3), taxifolin hydrate (10, 100, and 500 μM), and trehalose (60 mM) as eight groups (G5T0, G5T10, G5T100, G5T500, G3T0, G3T10, G3T100, and G3T500). After freeze-thawing process of cryopreservation, microscopic and oxidative stress parameters, and gene expression levels were investigated for understanding of possible impacts of taxifolin hydrate and trehalose. The study showed that G3T10 resulted in the highest post-thawed viability and mitochondrial activity. Moreover, all extenders with taxifolin hydrate reduced DNA fragmentation in comparison to G5T0, but DNA damage was prevented at the highest rate in presence of G5T10. The level of LPO significantly decreased in the groups G5T500 and G3T100, and the expression levels of NQO1, GCLC, and GSTP1 genes significantly increased in the groups G5T100, G5T500, G3T10, and G3T100 compared to the group G5T0. Finally, co-supplementation of tris-based extender having 3% glycerol with 60 mM trehalose and 10 μM taxifolin hydrate in cryopreservation extender may be recommended to improve the quality of post-thawed ram spermatozoa. However, further in vivo and in vitro studies are suggested to evaluate fertility rates of frozen-thawed ram spermatozoa co-supplemented with trehalose and taxifolin hydrate.
