Table 2.

Oxidative characteristics of semen collected from the studied groups.

Excellent Motility
(n = 43)		 High Motility
(n = 40)		 Acceptable Motility
(n = 41)
ROS production [RLU/s/106 sperm] 2.84 (1.07; 4.36) 5.99 (4.68; 7.32) *EM 9.70 (6.62; 11.53) **EM; *HM
Total antioxidant capacity [eq. μmol Trolox/L] 16.58 (9.91; 19.06) 9.95 (7.51; 12.34) *EM 6.40 (2.81; 8.44) **EM; *HM
BODIPY-positive cells [%] 5.28 (2.32; 6.96) 10.21 (8.20; 12.18) *EM 15.71 (10.63; 18.72) **EM; *HM

Values are represented as median (25th; 75th percentile). * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01. EM—versus excellent motility group; HM—versus high motility group.
