Poloxamer 188 exerts a cryoprotective effect on rooster sperm and allows decreasing glycerol concentration in the freezing extender

Glycerol is the most widely used cryoprotectant for rooster sperm because it declines the mechanical damage to sperm during the freezing process. Despite its high molecular weight and viscosity, which may be cytotoxic, glycerol can cause damage to cells during the cryopreservation process, resulting...
