These treatments focused on the strategy that reduction of disulfide bonds and removal of sperm membranes, through the easier access of oocyte cytoplasm to SOAF, may improve male pronuclear formation and the subsequent embryo development.
It was previously reported that in ovine species, an injected sperm itself poorly stimulates the activation process in ewe oocytes and that the additional chemical activation is the requisite for development of ewe ICSI oocytes to the blastocyst stage.
Sperm samples were obtained from three clinically healthy mix breed domestic tomcats of 4.1[+ or -] 0.3 kg weight and 2-3 years old.
Here we present the results of experiments conducted to determine how self-produced chemoattractants may differentially influence
sperm behavior via
sperm preference, speed, and motility.
The association between Computer-assisted
Sperm Morphometry Analysis (CASMA) and statistical software have allowed cluster the spermatozoa according to morphometric parameters in morphometrically distinct subpopulations [8, 25, 36, 43].
But I had no idea just how fraught that journey was for a
sperm until I read about a fascinating experiment done by researchers from Cornell University in New York.
Enumeration and analysis of slides: The slides were observed using a suitable filter set on a BX 53 Olympus fluorescence microscope, and the signals present in each
sperm were enumerated and captured using a CCD camera attached with the microscope.
UK-based scientists took
sperm samples from the testicles of 63 infertile men and matched them with ejaculated
sperm samples produced by the same men.
Here Jonathan, urologist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, gives tips on how to boost
sperm count and quality.
Only a few studies have been done on the refrigerated human
sperm, (12, 13) and the present study aimed to find a suitable condition for human
sperm preservation and clarify the effects of CoQ-10, Trolox, and ATPe on
sperm viability and motility patterns.
According to Nagel, the Ministry sent a letter to the 43-year-old woman (identity withheld) who flew him to Israel in December to freeze his
sperm at a private clinic.
Exploring the effect of age, of body mass index (BMI) and of BMI for each age group, they reported that a strong but negative association between
sperm concentration and obesity (high BMI).
