FIGURE 1 Percentage of spermatozoa increasing intracellular calcium in response to P in samples with different sperm quality. (a) Sample types A–E (mean ± SE). The number of samples is represented between brackets on each bar. (b) Values of individual samples of unexplained sterility (sample F). A: Three pathologies. B: Two pathologies. C: One pathology. D: Normal samples for IVF. E: Normal samples for IUI. F: Unexplained sterility. *Statistically significant differences as compared with all the other groups (P<.001); **Statistically significant differences as compared with group E (P<.001).
