Effects of Roundup Ultra Plus (RUP), glyphosate (GLY) and surfactant polyoxyethylene tallow amine (POEA) on acrosome membrane damage (A) and phosphatidyl-serine exposure in the plasma membrane (B) in human spermatozoa. Spermatozoa were incubated in BWW for 1 h at 37 °C, 5% CO2, in the absence or presence of indicated concentrations of RUP, POEA, GLY or POEA in combination with GLY. The results were expressed as the mean of the percentage of PNA-FITC-positive and PI-negative spermatozoa (n = 5) (A), and of Annexin V- FITC positive and PI-negative spermatozoa (n = 4) (B) ± standard error of the mean (SEM). No statistical differences were found.
