Abstract in Portuguese
Foi conduzida uma série de experimentos onde se buscou definir: 1) o limite de tolerância do espermatozóide caprino a soluções hiperosmóticas de sacarose; 2) um diluente para criopreservação de sêmen que minimizasse as flutuações de volume celular. O limite de tolerância da membrana, avaliado pelo corante eosina-nigrosina, foi de 930 mOsm em soluções de sacarose em Ringer-lactato a 38oC. Os danos à integridade de membrana (IM), em osmolalidades acima deste valor, se estabeleceram no primeiro minuto de exposição e não se agravaram até 10 minutos depois. A motilidade (MOT) foi mais afetada que a IM. A rediluição abrupta em meio isosmótico causou dano extenso e proporcional ao grau de desidratação prévia. Nos experimentos seguintes, adição de 375 mM de sacarose ao diluidor TRIS-gema com 6,8% de glicerol (TGG), 5 minutos antes da congelação, resultou em MOT e IM similares ao controle TGG sem sacarose. Descongelação e rediluição a 4oC favoreceram a MOT e, a 38oC, favoreceram a IM. O diluente TRIS-gema com 375 mM de sacarose e concentração de glicerol reduzida para 1,7% apresentou melhor MOT e IM que o controle (65% e 187% vs 52% e 100%, respectivamente). A MOT após 2 h e o vigor após 6 h foram maiores quando a rediluição pós-descongelação foi em 5 passos se comparado a 3 passos (28% e 9% vs 19% e 2%, respectivamente). Na fase seguinte do trabalho, diluentes elaborados com 300 mM após 6 h a 38oC, melhor MOT e vigor que o controle (33% e 26% vs 15% e 10%, respectivamente). A descongelação a 20oC favoreceu a MOT e o vigor nos tempos zero, 2 h e 6 h pós-descongelação em todos os grupos contendo sacarose. O etilenoglicol não diferiu do glicerol na concentração de 3,4% quando adicionado a diluente contendo 300 mM de sacarose. Nestes diluentes, a rediluição em 5 passos a 20oC não diferiu em MOT e IM da feita em 1 passo a 38oC. No último experimento, sêmen congelado em diluente contendo 300 mM de trealose e zero% de glicerol mostrou melhor IM após descongelação em um passo a 38oC (320% vs 100% no controle) e maior MOT às 6 h após descongelação e rediluição em 5 passos a 20oC (56% vs 26% no controle). Conclui-se que o sêmen caprino tolera soluções de sacarose até o limite de 930 mOsm, mas a rediluição deve ser progressiva. A desidratação parcial, causada por soluções concentradas de sacarose ou trealose, permite a congelação de sêmen sem adição de crioprotetores permeantes. Os melhores resultados foram obtidos em diluente TRIS-gema sem glicerol e adicionado de 300 mM de trealose.

Abstract in English
The objective of this study was to: 1) define the tolerance limits of goat sperm to hyperosmotic sucrose solutions; 2) establish an extender that minimizes cell volume variations during the processes of freezing and thawing. Boer goat semen was diluted with Ringer-lactate-Sucrose solutions at 38oC. The hyperosmotic tolerance limit was 930 mOsm evaluated with eosin-nigrosin stain. At osmolalities above this value, damage was evident after 1 min and was not affected by further exposure. Redilution in a single step resulted in massive membrane damage that was nearly proportional to the dehydration intensity previously undergone. Motility (MOT) was more distinctly impaired than membrane integrity (MI). In the next experiments, addition of 375 mM sucrose (Suc) 5 min previous to freezing to TRIS-egg yolk extender containing 6.8% glycerin (TYG) resulted in sperm motility (MOT) and MI similar to control extender TYG without sucrose. Thawing and redilution at 4oC affected favorably the MOT, and at 38oC, was favorable to MI. When freezing in TRIS-egg yolk-Suc extenders with low glycerin concentration (1.7%) MOT and MI were significantly higher than in the control TYG (65% and 187% vs 52% and 100%, respectively). MOT 2 h after thawing and intensity of motility (INTMOT) after 6 h after thawing were better preserved after a redilution of 5 increasing volume-steps than after redilution of 3 steps (28% and 9% vs 19% and 2%, respectively). In sequence, extenders containing 300 mM sucrose and thawed-rediluted 5 steps at 20oC improved MOT and INTMOT after 6 h (33% and 26% vs 15% and 10% in the control Group). The thawing-redilution at 20oC improved the results in all groups containing sucrose. At a concentration of 3.4% added to TRIS-yolk extender with 300 mM sucrose, the cryoprotectant ethylene glycol gave similar results as glycerin. MOT and INTMOT in the different time intervals were not influenced by redilution in 5 steps at 20oC or in one step at 38C. In the last experiment made, semen frozen in a TRIS-yolk extender with 300 mM trehalose and devoid of glycerin showed the best MI after thawing-redilution in 1 step at 38oC (320% vs 100% in the control Group). The highest MOT after 6 h incubation was observed when this group was thawed-rediluted at 20oC in 5 steps (56% vs 26% in the control). From the results obtained it may be concluded that the upper tolerance limit of goat spermatozoa to hyperosmotic sucrose solutions is 930 mOsm. The redilution and return to isosmolality should be stepwise made. Goat semen can be frozen in extenders devoid of permeant cryoprotectants like glycerin when, previous to freezing, the cells are partially dehydrated by concentrated sucrose or trehalose solutions. The best survival rate was obtained when freezing goat spermatozoa in a glycerin-free TRIS-yolk-extender containing 300 mM of trehalose.
