Abstract
ATP and ADP content of ejaculated spermatozoa of 7 donors were measured by a bioluminescent method within 24 h. The semen samples were kept at room temperature and at prefixed time were tested for motility and viability and extracted for ATP and ADP measurement. ATP pattern in relation to the time was studied with a mathematical model and the resulting curve showed a very high significance (P < 0.001). ADP decrease with time was not significant and was variable among our subjects. The relationshp between aTP decrease (%) and the decrease (%) of viability and motility was not linear, and till now no mathematical model was found to express this phenomenon.Keywords
