(a.) Having powers of self-motion, though unconscious; as, the motile spores of certain seaweeds.
(a.) Producing motion; as, motile powers.
Example Sentences:
(1) The proportion of motile spermatozoa decreased with time at the same rate when samples were prepared in either HEPES or phosphate buffers.
(2) All of the strains examined were motile and hemolytic and produced lipase and liquid gelatin.
(3) Whether hen's egg yolk can be used as a sperm motility stimulant in the treatment of such conditions as asthenospermia and oligospermia is subjected for further study.
(4) Forty-five enteropathogenic (enteropathogenic Escherichia coli-like) strains isolated in commercial rabbit farms were subdivided into four biotypes with the help of six carbohydrate fermentation tests, ornithine decarboxylase tests, and motility tests.
(5) Couples applying to in vitro fertilization were admitted into this project when the sperm concentration was greater than 20 million per mL and motility greater than 30 per cent.
(6) Following thawing, the initial motility index (MI) scores of mf cryopreserved by either method were not significantly different from untreated controls; however, over a period of 15 days in culture the MI scores of both cryopreserved groups showed a small but significant overall decline, with the methanol technique producing the lowest scores.
(7) Spontaneous lipid peroxidation in washed human spermatozoa was induced by aerobic incubation at 32 C and measured by malonaldehyde production; loss of motility during the incubation was determined simultaneously.
(8) The freezing procedure increased sperm motility in approximately 30% of samples from both animals.
(9) Liposomes of PC10 rapidly destroyed sperm motility while PC12 acrosome-reacted sperm remained motile for several h. Liposomes of PC with greater than or equal to 14-carbon fatty acyl chains had no effect on the AR or motility of sperm.
(10) In the present study, we have compared the phosphorylation state of the fibronectin receptor in motile neural crest and somitic cells, in stationary somitic cells, and in Rous-sarcoma virus transformed-chick embryo fibroblasts, using immunoprecipitation following metabolic labeling.
(11) Gallbladder mucosal net fluid transport and motility were measured in vivo by a continuous perfusion technique in the anaesthetized cat.
(12) The test is based on the ability of larvae to freely migrate through selected mesh sizes of nylon sieves and the reduced ability of larvae to migrate after preincubation with, and in the presence of, substances that inhibit or reduce larval motility.
(13) The morphological process of spermatogenesis is largely unaffected and motile sperm are produced, but meiocyte aneuploidy is common.
(14) Flow cytometry-derived parameters were essentially time-dependent whereas motility characteristics were primarily temperature-dependent.
(15) There were associated abnormalities of small intestinal morphology, motility, and absorptive function.
(16) The latter were shown to serve Hexamita organisms which exhibit exclusive motility.
(17) It was hypothesized that increased intestinal motility may disturb the absorption of fats and cause the observed difference at least in the Finnish population.
(18) These characteristics are consistent with the proposal that cytoplasmic dynein plays a universal role in retrograde organelle motility.
(19) The fibrosis of the gastric wall with motility disturbances, and the diminution of acid and pepsin production from damage to the glandular elements, would weigh against the addition of a vagotomy to the drainage procedure.
(20) The role of male factor with respect to sperm morphology, progressive motility, and density is studied under in vitro conditions.
