Elevated Lipid Concentrations in Seminal Plasma Can Reduce Sperm Motility in Simmental Bulls [PDF]
Sperm motility is a key factor influencing male fertility and is associated with metabolic and lipid profiles across species. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sperm motility and the seminal plasma lipid profile in ...

Quercetin Protects Goat Sperm Motility by Inhibiting Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Maintaining Plasma Membrane and Acrosome Integrity [PDF]
Enhancing or protecting sperm motility has always been a pivotal approach to improving the ewe pregnancy rate. Sperm motility is highly susceptible to the immune status of the reproductive tract.

Association of Oxidative Stress and Energy Metabolism with Sperm Quality in Chinese Male Adults [PDF]
Background Oxidative stress and energy metabolism are important factors that affect sperm quality in male individuals. However, the majority of available studies are based on animal models, and evidence from human studies is still inadequate.

Abnormal Human Sperm Parameters Contribute to Sperm DNA Fragmentation in Men with Varicocele [PDF]
Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate and compare threshold sperm parameters and sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI), and further analyzed whether sperm DFI could be predicted from sperm parameters in men with varicocele.

Sperm Motility Regulation in Male and Female Bird Genital Tracts
Sperm drastically change their flagellar movement in response to the surrounding physical and chemical environment. Testicular sperm are immotile; however, they gain the competence to initiate motility during passage through the male reproductive tract.

Motility Assessment of Ram Spermatozoa
For successful fertilisation to occur, spermatozoa need to successfully migrate through the female reproductive tract and penetrate the oocyte. Predictably, poor sperm motility has been associated with low rates of fertilisation in many mammalian species,
