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

Table 1

Evaluation of motility and viability in human spermatozoa in the different groups.

Groups	Sperm progressive motility (%)	Sperm viability (%)
0 min	73.5 ± 1.23^a	85.1 ± 0.75^a
Control	72.0 ± 0.93^a	78.5 ± 1.20^a
Lithium chloride	43.3 ± 2.13^b	41.5 ± 0.98^b
Silymarin + lithium chloride	76.5 ± 1.06^a	73.5 ± 1.03^a
Silymarin	74.8 ± 0.82^a	79.3 ± 0.26^a

Data are presented as means ± standard deviation. The means with the different letters are significantly different (one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s test, n = 6 for each group, ).
