Changes in spermatozoa lipid composition and seminal plasma biochemistry. Spermatozoa lipid contents, namely, (a) arachidonic acid (ng/mg), (b) phospholipids (μM), (c) triglycerides (mg/dL), (d) cholesterol (mg/dL), and (e) total lipids (mg/dL) in the control, sunflower oil, and omega-3 groups. Seminal plasma levels of (f) fructose (μg/mL), (g) acid phosphatase (ng/mL), and (h) α-glucosidase (μU/mL) in the control, sunflower oil, and omega-3 groups. Data are presented as (). and by Tukey’s multiple comparison post hoc test.
