Different superscripts within the same column demonstrate significant differences: ; .
Groups: LC1: 1 mM L-carnitine; LC5: 5 mM L-carnitine; HT1: 1 mM hypotaurine; HT10: 10 mM hypotaurine; T1: 1 mM taurine; T10: 10 mM taurine. Motility parameters: MOT: motility; PROG: progressive motility; RAPID: rapid sperm motility; VAP: average path velocity; VSL: straight-line velocity; VCL: curvilinear velocity; STR: straightness, ratio VSL/VAP; LIN: linearity, ratio VSL/VCL.
