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) .
