Effect of GO exposure on sperm membrane lipid composition. (Panel A) Effect of the exposure (in term of lipid composition) of boar spermatozoa to different GO concentrations, BSA and MβCD, compared to the membrane composition in physiological conditions before (T0) and after 2 h of incubation under capacitating conditions (T2). (Panel B) PCA analysis realized by assessing the different experimental treatments studied (different GO concentrations, BSA, MβCD). (Panel C) Histogram showing the values of PC1 with reference to all the lipids measured. (Panel D) Histogram showing the values of PC2 with reference to all the lipids measured.
