Correlations between sNHE expression and semen parameter values (n = 129)
| Parameters | Correlation coefficients | P value |
|---|---|---|
| Age | −0.10 | n.s. |
| Semen volume | 0.13 | n.s. |
| Sperm concentration | 0.17 | <0.05 |
| Total number | 0.19 | <0.05 |
| Progressive motility | 0.37 | <0.001 |
| Immotile | −0.39 | <0.001 |
| Total motility | 0.39 | <0.001 |
| Hyperactivated motility | 0.33 | <0.001 |
Correlations of semen volume, progressive motility, immotile sperm and total motility were tested by Pearson’s correlation analysis; the other parameters were tested by Spearman’s correlation analysis
