Post-thaw ATP supplementation enhances cryoprotective effect of iodixanol in rat spermatozoa.

CONCLUSIONS: Iodixanol has cryoprotective effects during rat sperm freezing without any toxic effect. Moreover, the combinations of iodixanol and ATP have a beneficial role in maintaining function of frozen-thawed rat spermatozoa for long period of incubation post-thaw.
