Table 2 in Vitamin E and reduced glutathione in Prochilodus lineatus (curimba) semen cryopreservation (Characiformes: Prochilodontidae)

Table 2. Means and standard deviations of the rate (%) of semen motility (n = 7) and duration (s) of curimba (P. lineatus) semen after freeze-thaw (cryopreservation) using different antioxidants (n = 6) and using water and bicarbonate as semen activators. ns There were no significant differences in the duration of semen motility between treatments (P>0.05).* There were significant differences between the different activators (P<0.05). VE50: 50 µM, VE100: 100 µM and VE250: 250 µM of vitamin E; RG0.5:0.5 mM, RG1.0:1.0 mM and RG1.5: 1.5 mM of reduced glutathione.
