Table 1. Ejaculated sperm enter COCs more rapidly than epididymal sperm.
Experiments | COCs | Control | Adjusted Ratio |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 41/64 (0.64) | 16/35 (0.46) | 1.40 |
2 | 111/160 (0.69) | 48/100 (0.48) | 1.45 |
3 | 47/28 (1.68) | 33/38 (0.87) | 1.93 |
4 | 70/46 (1.52) | 74/67 (1.10) | 1.38 |
Data are presented as ejaculated/epididymal sperm (ratio). The adjusted ratio is the ratios of ejaculated/epididymal sperm in the COC standardized to the ratios of ejaculated/epididymal sperm in the COC-free control preparation in the same dish.
