Abstract:Growth factors (GFs) are known to modulate cell function and their presence in semen could be advantageous to sperm. In humans andmice, fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) improved semen motility. Platelet rich plasma (PRP), rich in GFs including FGF2, reduced postmating inflammatory response within the uterus; however, its effects on sperm are not known. PRP lysate (PRPL) is much purer than PRPand contains higher concentrations of GFs. Hence, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of supp… Show more
