This research aimed at investigating the effects of adding glutathione as an antioxidant to the Arabian horse semen extender on the sperm viability and integrity after cooling and freezing. Glutathione was tested at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 mM/100 mL in the basic extender (HF-20). HF-20 extender was used as the basic control extender. Adding glutathione at a concentration of 2mM showed a high increase in the total motility sperm (61.25 ± 3.14%), progressive motility (28.13 ± 2.07 %),and VCL (90.03 ± 1.18μm/s)compared to other concentrations and to the control group.
