Table 1. Comparison of viability and motility of frozen-thawed spermatozoa among the groups.
Group | Number | Pre-freezing | Post-thawing | ||
viability(%) | motility(%) | viability(%) | motility(%) | ||
A(10 µm height) | 12 | 88.6±3.0a | 87.1±3.1a | 51.3±2.8 | 49.5±2.8 |
B (50 µm height) | 12 | 88.6±3.0a | 87.1±3.1a | 34.2±2.5b | 33.5±2.6b |
C (100 µm height) | 12 | 88.6±3.0a | 87.1±3.1a | 13.2±2.0b | 12.1±2.1b |
D(conventional freezing) | 12 | 88.6±3.0a | 87.1±3.1a | 50.9±2.2 | 49.1±2.5 |
