In Vitro Coexposure of Silymarin with Lithium Chloride Preserves Human Sperm Quality: A Useful Approach to Reduce Oxidative Damages

Figure 1

Evaluation of human sperm viability in different groups using eosin-negrosin staining method: (a) spermatozoa at 0 min; (b) control group; (c) spermatozoa treated with lithium chloride (500 μM); (d) spermatozoa treated with silymarin (100 μM) + lithium chloride (500 μM); (e) spermatozoa treated with silymarin (100 μM). Arrow: live spermatozoa with a white head. Arrowhead: dead spermatozoa with redhead. Magnification: 1,000x.
