“…This reduction in duration of motility may be due to limited energy resources and to the influence of temperature on metabolic processes. In addition, temperature of the activation solution appears to be the most important physicochemical condition affecting spermatozoon motility (Bombardelli, Sanches, Baggio, Sykora, Souza, Tessaro & Pianal ); hence, a better understanding of the influence of water temperature is crucial to improvement of artificial reproduction methods (Alavi, Rodina, Policar, Kozak, Psenicka & Linhart ; Rodina, Gela, Kocour, Alavi, Hulak & Linhart ).…”
