Spermatozoa evaluations with treatment effect for hydrogen peroxide. Units for VAP, VSL, and VCL = μm/s and BCF = hertz (a); Total: total motility and Prog.: progressive motility (b); oxidative status evaluated by CellROX green represented by percentage of cells without membrane alterations and stressed (PI-VD+) (c); sperm capacitation evaluated by chlortetracycline assay (CTC) (d); and positive cells for AO (e).
