Glycerol, DMSO and acetamide are three cryoprotectants commonly used in the process of
cryopreservation of rabbit semen. In this study, these three cryoprotectants with concentration of 4%
were tested for their effect on oxidative stress of rabbit sperm. After thawing, the oxidative stress was
evaluated by five indicators: level of carbonyl groups and malondialdehyde, activity of superoxide
dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPX). The results
showed that glycerol provided the lowest protection to GR (P
