Table 2. Analysis of spermatozoan motility*
    Control (n = 8)   Tail-suspended mice (n = 9)

  Motility, %   37.6 ± 19.3   30 ± 19.1
  VAP; µm/s   42.0 ± 6.5   31.2 ± 10.7{dagger}
  VCL; µm/s   68.1 ± 10.0   54.7 ± 18.8{dagger}
  VSL; µm/s   24.5 ± 5.4   18.3 ± 8.8{dagger}
  LIN, %   37.6 ± 4.4   39.6 ± 9.4
  ALH, µm   3.89 ± 0.72   2.98 ± 2.02
  BF, Hz   12.8 ± 1.6   14.6 ± 1.9{dagger}

  *Values are means ± SD. VAP indicates path velocity; VCL, mean track speed; VSL, mean progressive velocity; LIN, mean linearity; ALH, mean amplitude of lateral head displacement; and BF, mean beat frequency. Values within each group followed by symbols ({dagger}) are significantly different (P < .05).
