Superoxide Anion Is Reduced in Gradient Selected Cryopreserved Stallion Semen Despite High Mitochondrial Potential

This study aimed to compare cryopreserved stallion before (Control) and after single-layer gradient centrifugation (top layer {TL} vs. bottom layer {BL}, presumably composed by sperm with inferior and superior quality, respectively) by assessing sperm motility parameters, plasma membrane destabilization (PMD), high mitochondrial membrane potential (HMP) and SO concentration.
