Summary

Computer-assisted motion analyses and flow cytometry were used to evaluate stallion spermatozoa prior to and after cryopreservation. Addition of liposomes composed of both phosphatidylserine and cholesterol improved recovery of motile spermatozoa after cryopreservation but did not affect the ability of spermatozoa to undergo a dilauroylphosphatidylcholine-induced acrosome reaction.
