Fig. 3

Schematic representation of the rates of increase/decrease for each parameter. Arrows in grey mean no variation in rates (increase or decrease), whereas colored arrows show how those rates were modified over post-thawing incubation time; the more intense the color, the higher the rate. Viability, double-stranded DNA breaks and intracellular superoxides exhibited a higher rate of decrease during the first period, whereas global DNA damage presented a higher rate of increase during the second period
