Table 2.

Sperm quality parameters from samples exposed to extender alone (control), or in the presence of acetazolamide (AC) at three different concentrations (250 μmol/L, 500 μmol/L and 1000 μmol/L). The evaluated parameters were: percentage of progressively motile spermatozoa (PMOT), percentage of spermatozoa with low membrane lipid disorder (%M540/YO-PRO-1 sperm cells) and percentage of spermatozoa with high mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP; %JC1agg spermatozoa). Determinations were performed in fresh (extended) and frozen-thawed (FT) spermatozoa after 30 and 240 min of thawing. Data reported as mean ± SEM
