Human oviductal cells produce a factor(s) that maintains the motility of human spermatozoa in vitro Yuan-qing Yao, M.D., Pak-chung Ho, M.D., William Shu-biu Yeung, Ph.D. Fertility and Sterility Volume 73, Issue 3, Pages 479-486 (March 2000) DOI: 10.1016/S0015-0282(99)00563-4
FIGURE 1 Effects of oviductal cell CM on sperm motility. Values are means ± SEM (n = 15). Open circles represent control spermatozoa; closed circles represent cocultured spermatozoa. Comparisons were made between the cocultured and control spermatozoa at the same time points. ∗P<.05. †P<.01. ‡P<.001. §P<.0001. Comparisons also were made between the spermatozoa at time 0 and after incubation (control and cocultured) for different periods. ∥P<.05. ¶P<.01. #P<.001. ∗∗P<.0001. Yao.
