[The effect of osmotic pressure on the mobility and metabolism of human spermatozoa].
When human sperm was suspended in a hypertonic medium, their motility is damaged and their oxygen consumption is reduced. Hypotonic conditions are more disastrous because the cells become immotile. These results are discussed with reference to high osmolarity of seminal fluid.
