TL;DR: In this paper, modifications of human spermatozoa glycolysis by cyclic adenosine mo nophosphate (cAMP) estrogens and follicular fluid were examined.

TL;DR: The effectiveness of the copper IUD may arise in 2 general ways: 1) the scission of disulfide bonds resulting in a modification of S-S containing proteins and mucus causing precipitation of albumins which may change the internal wall in such a way as to prevent implantation and 2) the presence of oxygen.

TL;DR: Blood and semen samples were collected from 37 men before and 6 weeks after vasectomy; blood samples were also collected from 27 men 1 year postvasectomy to determine if sperm-agglutinating or sperm-immobilizing antibodies were present.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated metabolic changes in human spermatozoa related to capacitation and found that hydrosalpinx fluid produced an increase in oxygen uptake in the presence of citrate and succinate while follicular cyst fluid produced modifications that could be related to functional capacitation.

TL;DR: Present evidence indicates that cervical mucus acts as a barrier or trap for sluggish and abnormal sperms, and if an adequate number of motile sperm are present in the endocervix, favorable cervical factor is assumed and mucus can be ruled out as the cause of infertility.

TL;DR: A comparison of the diagnosis of tubal dysfunction by hysterosalpingography (HSG) under sedation and laparoscopy under general anesthesia (6 months after HSG) in 207 women showed the results were not in agreement in 54% of the cases.

TL;DR: Research is needed to elucidate the physiological effects of vasectomy as well as the immunological effects, and psychological evaluations are inconclusive to date.

TL;DR: In this article, a 1-year period, 37 women received trimonthly intermuscular injections of 150 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate, and the results of metabolic tests were repeated and compared to results obtained before the injections began.

TL;DR: In this paper, an examination of the epithelial surface of the Fallopian tubes of 10 women treated by salpingohysterectomy or salpingectomy was performed with a scanning electron microscope.

TL;DR: The results confirm the therapeutic role of LH-RH in certain cases of sterility and determine the presumptive ovulation responses of patients treated with a variety of regimens.
