  • 1. Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences, Slovak Universtity of Agriculture, Nitra, Slovakia

Description

Results of this study show that trehalose, caffeine and glutathione supplementations have stimulating effects on spermatozoa motility
parameters. Stimulating effects of trehalose were lasting over a longer time period, with recommendation of trehalose supplementation for a long-time spermatozoa cultivation. Caffeine and glutathione have the most markedly stimulating effects especially over the first 24 hours of cultivation, and they could be used as additives for a short-term in vitro spermatozoa preservation.
