Summary

Of the five compounds examined, only pentoxifylline, when added after thawing, stimulated motility but had no effect on the acrosome integrity of spermatozoa. The deterioration in motility characteristics occurred within 4 hours of thawing and this may have been responsible for the modest improvement in fertility of spermatozoa treated with pentoxifylline.
