Summary

BASICALLY, THE HIGHER THE DEGREE OF SUPERCOOLING, WHICH PRODUCED LOWER SPONTANEOUS NUCLEATION TEMPERATURES DURING FREEZING, THE WORSE THE SPERM CELLS SURVIVED. WHEN INDUCED NUCLEATION WAS APPLIED, WHICH ELIMINATED THE HIGH DEGREE OF SUPERCOOLING, AN IMPROVEMENT IN CELL SURVIVAL WAS NOTED. IN GENERAL, THE DEGREE OF SUPERCOOLING PRIOR TO FREEZING IS AN IMPORTANT VARIABLE AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED VERY SERIOUSLY DURING THE OVERALL FREEZING PROCESS.
