2 Figure 1 Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) after cryopreservation in the presence or absence of Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) extracts and resveratrol. (A) Individual SDF values in the PIbr population before and after cryopreservation in basal conditions (left: control, n = 21) and in the presence of OFI extracts (center: n = 15) and resveratrol (right: n = 15). (B) Scatterplot and linear regression analysis of values before and after cryopreservation in basal conditions with 95% confidence interval.

3 Figure 2 Scatterplots and linear regression between sperm DNA fragmentation (PIdim population) and the sperm motility parameters of amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH: R = −0.55, P=.03), straightness (STR: R = 0.59, P=.02), beat-cross frequency (BCF: R = 0.66, P=.006), and linearity (LIN: R = 0.55, P=.03), as evaluated by CASA.
