Diagnosis of the fertility potential of a semen sample is essential for consistently high
reproductive efficiency. The use of subfertile or infertile semen can have devastating …

In this study, two following experiments were performed to improve post-thaw motility and
viability of frozen-thawed ram spermatozoa. We examined i) the effects of different …

Previous independent studies have indicated that abnormally low parameters of sperm DNA
integrity and sperm membrane integrity correlate to reduced fertility due in part to …

This study was designed to evaluate the usefulness of the hypo‐osmotic swelling (HOS) test
in predicting successful conception and the pregnancy outcome in couples in whom men …

The object of the present study was to investigate the validation of the sperm quality
analyzer (SQA) and the hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) test with standard sperm analysis …

Objective To assess the value of the hypo-osmotic swelling test in predicting fertilization,
pregnancy, implantation, miscarriage, and live birth rates in IVF-ET cycles. Design …

Background: Human fertility is linked to sperm quality and therefore the establishment of
reference values for normality is mandatory. Aims: The first aim was to establish a reference …

Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) describes “reproductive health” as the ability
of women and men to realize their reproductive wishes, to have intact sexual relations, and …

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficiency of the sperm-oviduct explant
binding assay (OEA) in predicting the sperm fertilization potential in vitro and, to investigate …

Rapid advances in reproductive biology in recent years have greatly improved our
understanding of sperm physiology and the mechanisms leading to fertilization. Coupled …
