Figure 7

Long-term analysis. Effect of MT-Ex on sperm parameters, from 24 to 168 h of incubation at 17°C. In all analyses, white circles represent the control group—sperm samples stored in the MR-A semen extender, and black circles represent the MT-Ex group—sperm samples stored in the MR-A semen extender supplemented with MT-Ex. (a) Motile sperm population, (b) viable sperm count, (c) sperm population with basal mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), (d) viable sperm cells with high ROS production, and (e) viable cells with high O2-/peroxide production. Significant differences are represented between control and MT-Ex. , , and .
