Postthaw viability and progressive motility of semen samples cryopreserved by two different freezing protocols using two different FM.
Variable | Group A (sperm washing protocol) | Group B (direct freezing protocol) | P value | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
TYB | SF | TYB | SF | P a | P b | P c | P d | |
Viability (%) | 21.20 ± 1 | 15.62 ± 0.71 | 27.21 ± 1.69 | 21.71 ± 1.60 | <0.0001 | <0.0001 | 0.006 | 0.0002 |
Progressive motility (%) | 18.41 ± 1.03 | 13.99 ± 0.87 | 16.63 ± 1.67 | 13.38 ± 1.46 | <0.0001 | 0.005 | NS | NS |
Note: values are mean ± SEM. TYB, TEST Yolk Buffer; SF, Sperm Freeze.
P a, paired t-test for TYB versus SF in group A.
P b, paired t-test for TYB versus SF in group B.
P c, unpaired t-test for TYB washed versus TYB not washed.
P d, unpaired t-test for SF washed versus SF not washed.
