The hypo‐osmotic swelling test was claimed to assess an independent functional
characteristic of human spermatozoa bearing relevance to their fertilizing capacity. To test …

The hypo-osmotic sperm swelling (HOSS) test was performed on semen samples of five
normospermic men from couples with prolonged infertility. Previously, the men had negative …

Objective: The aim of this work was to evaluate the sperm velocity characteristics, the sperm

Objective: To compare the hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST) of spermatozoa with the
standard spermiogram in both fertile and infertile male subjects. Materials and Methods: The …

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 hypoosmotic swelling test (HOS) is a simple test to measure the functional competence
of human sperm membranes. The question is, does a relationship exist between this …

The aim of this study was to compare the standard seminal fluid analysis (SFA) with the in
vitro sperm penetration test (SP test). Semen from husbands in 100 infertile couples, from 25 …

Semen from 88 men of infertile couples and 33 fertile donors differed in seminal fluid
analysis (sperm density and motility)(SFA) as well as in the penetration of hamster ova …

The functional integrity of sperm membranes of 270 semen samples collected from fertile
men and the male partners in couples with infertile marriages was assessed by the …

A study was carried out to evaluate the andrological parameters in 540 human semen
specimens divided into groups according to sperm counts. The parameters were: motility …
