Characteristic of sperm motility in mature offspring of females with experimental liver diseases of various origins.
We studied the effect of experimental liver injury of various origins (toxic, autoimmune, alcoholic, and mesenchymal) in the females on motility of spermatozoa in the offspring. The number of infertile (jerking and immotile) spermatozoa increased, whereas the number of fertile spermatozoa (progressive motile and slow motile) was reduced. Changes in the ratio of fertile and infertile germ cells resulted in a significant decrease in sperm motility index.
