In the article titled “In Vitro Antioxidant Treatment ofSemen Samples in Assisted Reproductive Technology:Effects of Myo-Inositol on Nemaspermic Parameters” [1],there were inaccuracies regarding the information on thetotal sperm motility after capacitation. Semen samples insection “Myo-Ins Exposure and Sperm Analyses” wereeither untreated or treated with Myo-Inositol before orafter capacitation.

In the “Results” section, the statement “A slight butsignificant increase was observed in the total sperm motilityof fresh samples after post-capacitation (from 73.99±28.94% to 70.87± 31.46%, p ≤ 0 05), whereas a minor butnot significant reduction in the sperm progressive motilitypost-capacitation was observed after Myo-Ins treatment(from 70.67± 26.72% to 69.97± 27.27%) (Figure 1)” shouldbe corrected to “A slight but not significant decrease wasobserved both in the total sperm motility (from 73.99±28.94 to 70.87± 31.46) and progressive sperm motility (from70.67± 26.72 to 69.97± 27.27) of treated samples versusfresh untreated samples, after capacitation (Figure 1).”

In addition, there was an error in Figure 1, where the aster-isk indicating significance post-capacitation for TOT/+Myo-Ins should have been removed. Moreover, there was an errorin the legend of Figure 2. The corrected figures and their leg-ends are as follows:
