Exploring the characters of sperm lipid peroxidation, enzymatic antioxidant activity, and spermatozoa zona binding capacity with aging in dogs.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess differences in fresh semen quality between mature and senile dogs, focusing on oxidative stress markers, including spermatozoa lipid peroxidation and enzymatic antioxidant activity. Furthermore, the ability of frozen-thawed spermatozoa from these age groups to bind to the zona pellucida was investigated. Forty clinically healthy dogs were categorized into two groups: mature (3 ± 0.2 years; n = 20) and senile (10 ± 0.2 years; n = 20). A total of 107 semen samples (2-3 ejaculates per dog) were analyzed for motilities and kinetic parameters, sperm concentration, total sperm count (TSC), acrosome and membrane integrity, morphological defects, DNA fragmentation, lipid peroxidation, and the enzymatic activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase in spermatozoa and seminal plasma. A zona-binding assay was performed using frozen-thawed semen from mature (n = 10) and senile (n = 10) dogs. Mature dogs exhibited significantly higher total motility, sperm concentration, TSC, membrane integrity, and zona binding capacity compared to senile dogs (P < 0.05). Conversely, senile dogs had significantly higher proportions of proximal cytoplasmic droplets and tail defects (P < 0.05). However, lipid peroxidation, enzymatic antioxidant activities, and acrosome integrity did not differ significantly between the groups (P > 0.05). In conclusion, the observed decline in fresh semen quality with age in dogs does not appear to be associated with increased susceptibility to oxidative stress. Furthermore, frozen-thawed spermatozoa from mature dogs exhibited superior zona binding capacity, likely due to a greater proportion of progressively motile sperm.
