Sperm Functional Parameters. The buffalo spermatozoa were exposed to 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 μM of Omethoate, Paraoxon methyl, TCPy for the assessment of membrane integrity (AC), capacitation status (DF), mitochondrial membrane potential (GI) and lipid peroxidation (JL) using fluorescent staining. CFDA with PI (see text) was used to assess the membrane integrity of the spermatozoa that were categorized as live, dead or moribund. CTC (see text) was used to categorize the spermatozoa as non-capacitated (NC), capacitated (C), or acrosome-reacted (AR). JC-1 (see text) was used to calculate the percentage of spermatozoa with high and low mitochondrial membrane potential while BODIPY (see text) was used to distinguish the spermatozoa with high and low lipid peroxidation (LPO).
