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. Spermatozoa: PMI: plasma membrane integrity; L/IACR: live with intact acrosome; L/APOPT-/MEMBREORG-: live without apoptosis and membrane reorganization; L/LPO-: live without LPO; HMMP: high mitochondrial membrane potential; DFI: sperm with detectable DNA fragmentation. |
