Data are presented as mean±SEM (n=6).
Sperm count: a significant decrease (p<0.001) compared with the sham group; b significant increase (p<0.001) compared with the TD group.
Sperm motility: a significant decrease (p<0.001) compared with the sham group; b significant increase (p<0.001) com-pared with the TD group.
Sperm viability: a significant decrease (p<0.001) compared with the sham group; b significant increase (p<0.001) com-pared with the TD group.
Abnormal morphology: a significant increase (p<0.001) compared with the sham group; b significant decrease (p<0.001) compared with the TD group.
