- Abstract
The article presents the study which examines the inhibitory effect of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGEE) on rat sperm motion in Japan. A Hamilton-Thorne Sperm analyzer was used to investigate the change in motion of sperm from cauda epididymides and spermaducts, and the administration of EGEE for five weeks has decreased total and progressive motility of sperm. The study suggested that the metabolite of EGEE may directly affect the motion of mature sperm.
