  1. * Results are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 9).a, b, c Means with different superscripts in the row are significantly different between groups (P < 0.05) P-MOT: progressive motility (%), VCL (µm/s): curvilinear velocity, VSL (µm/s): velocity straight line, VAP (µm/s): average pathway velocity, ALH (µm): amplitude of lateral head displacement, STR (%): straightness, LIN (%): Linearity
