CASA analyses revealed no negative effects of type I collagenase on sperm motility-related parameters. Computer-assisted sperm analysis showed no significant differences on sperm motility, progressive motility, average path velocity (VAP), curvilinear velocity (VCL), beat frequency cross (BCF), and linearity (LIN) between control and collagenase-treated sperm, indicated no negative effects of type I collagenase on sperm motility-related parameters. Data were expressed in percentages (%, for motility, progressive motility and linearity), mm/s (for VCL) and Hz (for BCF). *Indicates significant differences between groups. Relative changes within each group (t60 vs. t10) were also indicated. Data were analyzed from 16 ejaculates from 4 individuals
