[Influence of temperature on the motility of human spermatozoa]
Abstract:
The mean swimming speed of a suspension of human sperms has been estimated by applying a kinetic theory and using an image analysing computer. This technique allowed the study of the evolution of motility in terms of temperature: the global swimming speed significantly increases from 22 degree C to 31 degrees C, and then remains rather constant. However the percentage increases are very varying according to samples.
