Archives of Andrology, 1998 Within 40 s the Sperm Quality Analyzer (United Medical Systems, Santa Ana, CA, USA) provides a numerical value called the sperm motility index. This index reflects both the concentration of motile sperm cells and the intensity of their motility and cannot be determined by conventional semen analysis.

Size dependent inhibition of sperm motility by copper particles as a path towards reversible male contraception [PDF]
, 2021 Effective inhibition of sperm motility using a spermicide can be a promising approach in developing non-invasive male contraceptive agents. Copper is known to have contraceptive properties and has been used clinically for decades as intrauterine ...

Seawater carbonate chemistry and sperm motility of Tegillarca granosavia [PDF]
, 2021 Since the industrial revolution, massive amount of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) have been generated to elevate the atmospheric CO2 concentration. Some anthropogenic CO2 have been absorbed by the ocean to cause “ocean acidification” (OA).

Plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase 4 is required for sperm motility and male fertility [PDF]
, 2004 Calcium and Ca(2+)-dependent signals play a crucial role in sperm motility and mammalian fertilization, but the molecules and mechanisms underlying these Ca(2+)-dependent pathways are incompletely understood. Here we show that homozygous male mice with a

Post-Meiotic Intra-Testicular Sperm Senescence in a Wild Vertebrate [PDF]
, 2012 There is growing interest in sperm senescence, both in its underlying mechanisms and evolutionary consequences, because it can impact the evolution of numerous life history traits. Previous studies have documented various types of sperm senescence, but
