Figure 1 Vitality, motility, and progressive motility of spermatozoa obtained from fertile control male mice (Ctrl) and mice that had undergone spermatogonial stem cell transplantation (WW). Spermatozoa were cultured for 24 hours. Significance data for treatment effect by repeated measures analysis of variance were as follows: for vitality, effect of treatment was P=.336, effect of time was P<.001, and combined effect was P=.899; for motility, effect of treatment was P=.012, effect of time was P<.001, and combined effect was P=.003; and for progressive motility, effect of treatment was P=.012, effect of time was P<.001, and combined effect was P=.003.

Figure 3 Individual sperm movement characteristics of spermatozoa obtained from fertile control male mice (ctrl) and mice that had undergone spermatogonial stem cell transplantation (WW). Spermatozoa were cultured for 24 hours. Significance data for treatment effect by repeated measures analysis of variance were as follows: for VAP, effect of treatment was P=.017, effect of time was P<.001, and combined effect was P=.032; for VSL, effect of treatment was P=.017, effect of time was P<.001, and combined effect was P=.026; for VCL, effect of treatment was P=.030, effect of time was P<.001, and combined effect was P=.118; for ALH, effect of treatment was P=.006, effect of time was P<.001, and combined effect was P=.070; for BCF, effect of treatment was P=.091, effect of time was P<.001, and combined effect was P=.293; for STR, effect of treatment was P=.049, effect of time was P<.001, and combined effect was P=.023; for LIN, effect of treatment was P=.062, effect of time was P<.001, and combined effect was P=.013; and for hyperactivity, effect of treatment was P=.029, effect of time was P<.001, and combined effect was P=.255.
