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
a

indicates a statistical difference when compared with post-thawing spermatozoa from Group A to Group D (P<0.05);

b

indicates a statistical difference when compared with Group A (P<0.05).
