Saturated fatty acids accelerate linear motility through mitochondrial ATP production in bull sperm
Abstract Purpose The present study was undertaken to clarify whether bovine sperm could take up fatty acids (FAs) and produce ATP to maintain linear motility. Methods Frozen bovine semen was thawed in media containing either lipid mixture (LM) or FAs, and sperm motility was analyzed. The kinetic cha...
