| Abstract |
Sperm motility is the major decisive factor in determining male fertility. The objective of the present study was to analyse the effect of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) on the temporal regulation of sperm motility. Observations were recorded in various rodent species and among differentially motile sperm fractions including swim up and leftover layer of human semen sample using JC-1 stain (a marker of the MMP) through FACS. Swim-up sperms having highest motility showed significantly higher MMP as compared to leftover sperms, which had the least motility. Interestingly, infertile patients with compromised motility showed low MMP as compared to the healthy individuals. Further, as per the time lapse, sperm motility goes down, at the same time, it was observed that MMP also decreases in human as well as in rodent sperms. Treatment of known spermicides on human sperms reduced their motility drastically which in turn also reduced its MMP significantly. Treatment of human sperms with oxidative uncoupler also impeded their motility by reducing MMP, indicating a definitive role on MMP on sperm motility and fertility. Based on the results of the study, MMP can be considered as a potential regulator and indicator of sperm motility and hence could be directly related to male fertility. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 July 2016.
All research outputs
#17,286,379
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal
#527
of 853 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#237,980
of 368,661 outputs
Outputs of similar age from In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal
#8
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 853 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 368,661 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
