Abstract
Human spermatozoa in the presence and absence of glycerol did not exhibit temperature shock when cooled at various rapid rates above the freezing temperature. They also failed to show deleterious effects when rapidly rewarmed above 0[degree]C. Hence the death of spermatozoa that occurs during the freezing and thawing of human semen is associated with ice formation.Keywords
