  We study the effect of damping on the generation of baryon asymmetry of the
Universe in the standard model of the eletroweak theory with simple extensions
of the Higgs sector. The propagation of quarks of masses up to about 5 GeV are
considered, taking into account their markedly different dispersion relations
due to interaction with the hot electroweak plasma. It is argued that the
contribution of the b quark can be comparable to that of the t quark calculated
earlier.
