Table 7.

Effect of 30 μM alpha-lipoic acid, 30 μM alpha-lipoic acid-loaded NLC, and control group on fertility and hatchability rates of rooster semen after freeze-thawing.

Parameters	Treatments
Parameters	Control	ALN30	A30
Fertilized eggs	18 (36)^b	29 (58)^a	25 (50)^a
Hatched eggs	8 (16)^c	23 (46)^a	17 (34)^b
Hatched eggs ratio (hatched/fertilized, %)	44.4^b	79.31^a	68.0^a

Different superscripts letters within row are significantly different (P < 0.05).

Each experimental group contained 50 eggs initially. Extender supplemented with alpha-lipoic acid containing 30 (A30) and alpha-lipoic acid loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (ALN) containing 30 (ALN30) μM.
