Popis: Abstract Purpose The present study was undertaken to clarify whether bovine sperm could take up fatty acids (FAs) and produce ATP to maintain linear motility. Methods Frozen bovine semen was thawed in media containing either lipid mixture (LM) or FAs, and sperm motility was analyzed. The kinetic changes in FA levels in sperm were detected using gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry. The mitochondrial activity of sperm thawed in media containing LM or FAs was analyzed based on the fluorescence intensity of JC‐1 staining and the oxygen consumption rate. FA transporters were observed using whole‐mounted immunofluorescence. Results Sperm linear motility was significantly (P
