Although there are many studies that discuss the positive or negative effects of resveratrol on different gamete characteristics we have scarce knowledge on the existing mechanisms. For example, the observed change in the motility of human spermatozoa could be due mainly on scavenging function of resveratrol. On the other hand, it has many other effects on sperm mitochondria and cell membrane structures.

Unfortunately the effect may be unspecific. Specific would be if concentration is "physiological" and if transresveratrol makes effects whereas cisresveratrol does not do them (if both do similar effects they are likely unspecific). In summary my doubts are related to specificity under the assay conditions.
