Effects of thymoquinone or capsaicin on sperm motility in acrylamide-challenged rats
Acrylamide, however, provoked marked decrease in the normal sperm motility by about 79% compared to the control group. Nevertheless, concomitant administration of either TQ or capsaicin to acrylamide-challenged rats improved the sperm motility by about 380% and 357%, respectively compared to rats that received acrylamide alone in tap water. Apparently, sperm motility was restored almost back to normal function (Table 1) .
