Effects of Potassium Plus Magnesium and of Aeroblc or Anaerobic Conditions on the Metabolites Produced From Fructose by Washed Ram and Bull Spermatozoa

Abstract

The main metabolites from fructose were carbon dioxide, lactate, and acetate. Generally the effects of the addition of potassium (1 mM) plus magnesium (2 roM) were greater with 1 x 108 ram spermatozoa per millilitre than with 4 X 108 cells per millilitre
