Effect of BPA on motility, viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), mitochondrial activity, and intracellular ATP ([ATP]i) levels. (a) Differences in motility in BPA-treated and control spermatozoa. (b) Differences in number of viable spermatozoa between the control and BPA treatment. (c) Differences in LDH levels in control and BPA-treated spermatozoa. (d) Representative flow cytometry images of mitochondrial activity in control and BPA-treated spermatozoa. (e) The bar represents the difference in mitochondrial activity detected by flow cytometry in control and BPA-treated spermatozoa. (f) Differences in [ATP]i levels between control and BPA-treated spermatozoa. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (4 replicates). Values with different superscript characters (A,B,a,b) indicate significant differences between the control and treatment groups as determined by one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05)
