Table 1 The average sperm kinematic parameters including straight-line velocity (VSL), curvilinear velocity (VCL), average path velocity (VAP), linearity (LIN), and straightness (STR) were calculated by openCASA. The average sperm concentration was also characterized using a Neubauer counting chamber.
