Semen from 5 Piedmontese bulls was subjected to the hypoosmotic swelling (HOS) test in
order to determine if the results could be correlated to the fertilizing capacity in vitro. Semen …

The aim of the present study was to establish a more differentiating indicator of plasma
membrane integrity of spermatozoa than the classic version of the hypoosmotic swelling test …

The hypo‐osmotic swelling test (HOST) is widely used as a valuable test for determining
sperm quality by evaluating the membrane integrity of spermatozoa of various domestic …

Human sperm viability is essential for successful fertilization. Eosin Y is the usually accepted
method for sperm viability assessment, though the hypoosmotic swelling test has been …

The aim of the study was to determine if intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) would be an
effective therapy for males with subnormal hypo‐osmotic swelling test (HOST) scores, a …

The results of the sperm count, motility, and hamster oocyte penetration (SPA) tests have
been found to vary greatly in individuals who have had tests performed on more than one …

A modified hypo-osmotic solution was used to select viable ejaculated and testicular
spermatozoa to perform intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in 27 treatment cycles from …

A previous prospective study using matched samples found that sperm with low
hypoosmotic swelling (HOS) scores had no adverse effect on fertilization rates but markedly …

The separation of spermatozoa from the seminal plasma is required to prepare the
spermatozoa for intrauterine insemination, in-vitro fertilization and sex selection. This study …

The parameter of sperm viability in hypoosmotic solution (VHOS) provides information
concerning the membrane Integrity of the sperm head. The objective of this study was to …
