Table 1. Correlations between MitoTracker Green positive sperm and several sperm quality parameters*.

Progressive motility Intact membrane COX I expression Intact acrosome Capacitated Chromatin integrity
0.811 (<0.001) 0.811 (<0.001) 0.616 (<0.001) 0.421 (0.004) 0.440 (0.002) 0.290 (0.046)

The percentage of MitoTracker Green positive sperm of a given sample positively correlates with the percentage of sperm with a) progressive motility; b) intact membrane; c) COX I expression; d) intact acrosome; e) phosphotyrosines f) integral chromatin.
