Sperm cryopreservation represents a powerful tool for livestock breeding. Several efforts have been made to improve the efficiency of sperm in different ruminant species. However, significant amount still suffers considerable cryodamage, which may affect quality and fertility. Recently, use "omics" technologies cryobiology, especially proteomics studies, has led better understanding molecular modifications induced by cryopreservation, facilitating identification freezability biomarkers certain proteins that can be added before enhance cryosurvival.

Cryopreservation poses significant challenges to the preservation of sperm integrity and function, particularly in small ruminants where cryodamage is pronounced. This review explores molecular mechanisms underlying strategies for improving cryopreservation outcomes, with a focus on role antioxidants. Cryopreservation-induced alterations proteins RNA transcripts critical including motility, capacitation, fertilization, embryo development, are discussed. Proteomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic advancements have provided valuable insights into these mechanisms, offering potential biomarkers predicting freezability enhancing strategies. Combining technologies such as mass spectrometry flow cytometry allows comprehensive understanding cellular changes induced by freezing–thawing process. However, remain optimizing cryoprotectant formulations antioxidant supplementation improve post-thaw fertility. Further research needed explore wider range novel cryoprotectants, antioxidants, media, well validate their efficacy viability function. Additionally, investigations effects epigenetic factors ruminant species warranted advance our preservation. Overall, this highlights importance antioxidants mitigating underscores need continued refine protocols reproductive outcomes ruminants.

Porcine seminal plasma (SP) is loaded with a heterogeneous population of extracellular vesicles (sEVs) that modulate several reproductive-related processes. This study investigated the effect two sEV subsets, small (S-sEVs) and large (L-sEVs), on porcine in vitro fertilization (IVF). The sEVs were isolated from nine SP pools (five ejaculates/pool) using size-exclusion chromatography-based procedure characterized for quantity (total protein), morphology (cryogenic electron microscopy), size distribution (dynamic light scattering), purity EV-protein markers (flow cytometry; albumin, CD81, HSP90β). characterization confirmed existence subsets high (low albumin content) differed (S- L-sEVs).
