Post-activation time (s)
Figure 2. Effect of the osmolality on motility and velocity parameters at
different post-activation times: 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80 s. Data are expressed as
mean ± SEM (n=9). Different letters indicate significant differences between
the different media at the same post-activation time.
Abbreviations: TM, total motility; PM, progressive motility; VCL, curvilinear velocity;
VSL, straight line velocity; VAP, average path velocity.
