Figure 1

Effects of resveratrol on sperm progressive motility, membrane integrity, and acrosome integrity during cooling, freezing, and thawing incubation processes. Cooled: fresh sperm cooled from room temperature to 5°C. Cooled-Res: fresh sperm cooled from room temperature to 5°C with 50 μM resveratrol. Equil.: cooled sperm equilibrated for 30 min at 5°C. Equil.-Res: cooled sperm equilibrated for 30 min at 5°C with 50 μM resveratrol. Freezing-Res: freezing extender added with (+) or without (-) 50 μM resveratrol. Thawing-Res: thawing solution supplemented with (+) or without (-) 50 μM resveratrol. Data are the ( independent replicates). Columns with different uppercase letters differ significantly ().
