Dose-response effects of estrogenic mycotoxins (zearalenone, alpha- and beta-zearalenol) on motility, hyperactivation and the acrosome reaction of stallion sperm

Table 1 The effect of concentration, substance and stallion on sperm parameters (P values) and repeatability values

Effect	Total motility	Progressive motility	VAP	VCL	VSL	ALH	LIN	Acrosome reaction
concentration	0.053	0.004	<0.0001	0.007	<0.0001	<0.0001	<0.0001	0.006
substance	0.32	0.08	0.27	0.0004	0.051	<0.0001	0.0007	<0.0001

repeatability	0.54	0.61	0.63	0.81	0.59	0.7	0.63	n.e.

n.e. = not evaluated due to the absence of replicates
n = 5, replicates = 3 for motility parameters; n = 5, no replicates for acrosome reaction
