Table 2. Effect of hydroxylamine on temperature-dependent hyperactivation of human spermatozoa.

Treatment T(°C) FD %HYP
No hydroxylamine 34 1.25 ± 0.01 13 ± 2
37 1.17 ± 0.01* 4 ± 1*
With hydroxylamine 34 1.16 ± 0.01 2 ± 1
37 1.15 ± 0.02 1.9 ± 0.5

The motility parameters FD and percentage of hyperactivated spermatozoa (%HYP) were consecutively analysed at 34 °C and 37 °C for 1 min periods under the illumination of a bright-field microscope in the presence and absence of hydroxylamine (5 mM). Each of the values shown is the mean ± SEM of 12 determinations. *P < 0.0001 according to two-way ANOVA for the difference from 34 °C.
