Abstract :In this study, it was designed to reveal the effects of capsaicin on oxidative stress and freezability of ram semen. Ejaculates were taken from Sönmez rams and divided into five specimens and diluted with extender at different rates insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4 mM, 2 mM, 1 mM, 500 µM); with and without capsaicin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(control; C);. Semen samples were thawed with a 37°C water bath for 30 seconds for post-thawed analysis. At the end of the study, sperm motility and kinetic parameters, plasma membrane acrosome integrity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PMAI);, mitochondrial membrane potential insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MMP);, DNA damage, oxidant and antioxidant parameters were analyzed. A decrease was observed in the groups containing capsaicin compared to the C in terms of progressive, total motility and kinetic parameters insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Besides, positive results were not obtained DNA integrity, PMAI and MMP insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. In conclusion; it was determined that capsaicin added to Tris extender did not have a positive effect on oxidative stress and freezing of ram semen.
