title: Human spermatozoal motility and lipid peroxidation.
abstract: Correlation between human spermatozoal motility and lipid peroxidation is worked out following their suspension in native seminal plasma and in Biggers, Whitten and Whittengham (BWW) medium. Spermatozoa suspended in BWW showed higher motility and lesser degree of lipid peroxidation than those suspended in seminal plasma. Further, higher activities of antioxidant enzymes are recorded in the BWW suspended spermatozoa vis a vis those suspended in native seminal plasma.
