Figure 2 The parameters of semen cryopreserved with 50 μM ZnSO4. (A) The average path velocity (VAP); (B) curvilinear velocity (VCL); (C) sperm plasma membrane integrity (PMI); (D) DNA fragment index (DFI); (E) reactive oxygen species (ROS); and (F) mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were examined after cryopreservation with 50 μM ZnSO4. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001.
