Table 3 Average DNA fragmentation associated with the use of the different freezing extenders (means±SD)

From: The effect of two pre-cryopreservation single layer colloidal centrifugation protocols in combination with different freezing extenders on the fragmentation dynamics of thawed equine sperm DNA

Extender	sDFI 0	sDFI 4	sDFI 6	sDFI 24
Botu-Crio®	13,82^a±8,57	18,78^a±8,76	25,74^b±11,10	36,08^b±12,70

DNA fragmentation index average values immediately after thawing (sDFI 0) and after 4 (sDFI 4), 6 (sDFI 6) and 24 h (sDFI 24) of incubation. Letters in superscript represent significant differences between extenders (p<0.05) at each time point.
