Abstract
Human sperm motility, viability and lipid peroxidation were assessed in Ringer-Tyrode supplemented with different concentrations of quercetin. An irreversible and dose-dependent fall in sperm motility was observed with quercetin (5-200 microm). However, sperm viability was decreased only at higher concentrations (50-100 microm) of quercetin. This inhibition in sperm motility and viability has been linked with decreased Ca2+-ATPase activity, as there was no effect of quercetin on sperm lipid peroxidation.Entities:
