Abstract
Summary
An experiment was designed to test the effect of CO2 in preventing the deleterious dilution effect on metabolism and motility of spermatozoa in varying concentrations from the same sample. The results showed that CO2 prevented the depressed metabolic activity and loss of motility associated with high dilution. Thus, CO2 is one essential factor which is removed from the sperm cells upon excessive dilution.
