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

Human ejaculates (n= 83) were analyzed for standard sperm parameters (concentration,
motility, and morphology), as well as for the ability of the spermatozoa to react (swell) in a …

The hypo‐osmotic swelling (HOS) test has been proposed as a useful assay for evaluation
of the functional competence of the human sperm membranes. To assess this further, the …

The hypoosmotic swelling test is a simple laboratory test to measure the functional integrity
of the human sperm membrane. Its in-vivo and in-vitro applicability needs to be evaluated …

Semen samples of 209 males of infertile couples were evaluated by the sperm hypoosmotic
swelling (HS) test, the in vitro human sperm zona-free hamster ovum penetration assay …

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 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 …

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 …

The ability of sperm to swell in hypo‐osmotic conditions was examined in 211 semen
samples from the partners of patients about to undergo oocyte retrieval for in‐vitro …

The correlation between the hypo‐osmotic swelling test, the modified Eliasson score for
human semen analysis and the hamster egg penetration assay was examined. The results …
