Comparison of computer assisted sperm analysis (CASA) profiles between the FE exposed group and control groups (n = 63)
| CASA | Exposures (mean±SD) (n = 21) | Internal controls (mean±SD) (n = 23) | P1 | External controls (mean±SD) (n = 19) | P2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P1 compared with internal controls; P2 compared with external controls. | |||||
| BCF, beat cross frequency; ALH, amplitude of lateral head displacement; LIN, linearity; STR, straightness; VAP, average path velocity; VCL, curvilinear velocity; VSL, straight line velocity. | |||||
