TLDR
Assessing the ability of capacitated sperm to acrosome react may have clinical significance in predicting whether such sperm are capable of fertilizing an ovum, and in this cohort under study, semen characteristics of AR(+) and AR(-) patients were similar.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
A test of the human sperm acrosome reaction following ionophore challenge. Relationship to fertility and other seminal parameters.
TL;DR: The test was shown to have a predictive value for fertility comparable to that of the hamster ovum sperm penetration assay and to be a simple and cost-effective addition to existing semenology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tests of human sperm function and fertilization in vitro
TL;DR: Results of in vitro fertilization can be used to evaluate tests of human sperm function and Logistic regression analysis is a powerful method for determining which groups of sperm characteristics are independently related to fertilization rates.

Clinical review 100: Evaluation and treatment of the infertile couple.
Gianni Forti,Csilla Krausz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the benefits of using ICSI for the treatment of tubal disease and male factor infertility, and suggest that the risk of malformation after conventional IVF is not increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selected genetic factors associated with male infertility
TL;DR: This review focuses on selected areas implicated in male infertility including: autosomal and sex chromosomal abnormalities; genetic disorders associated with impaired gonadotrophin secretion or action; microdeletions within regions of the Y-chromosome containing candidate gene families for spermatogenesis; and the genetic nexus between cystic fibrosis and congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric Oxide Regulates Human Sperm Capacitation and Protein-Tyrosine Phosphorylation In Vitro
TL;DR: Results indicate that nitric oxide is involved in human sperm capacitation and emphasize the importance of oxidoreduction reactions in the fine control of sperm physiology.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent
TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.
Book
Nonparametric statistics for the behavioral sciences
TL;DR: This is the revision of the classic text in the field, adding two new chapters and thoroughly updating all others as discussed by the authors, and the original structure is retained, and the book continues to serve as a combined text/reference.

An Analysis of Variance Test for Normality (Complete Samples)
S. S. Shapiro,M. B. Wilk +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new statistical procedure for testing a complete sample for normality is introduced, which is obtained by dividing the square of an appropriate linear combination of the sample order statistics by the usual symmetric estimate of variance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Analysis of Variance
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic theory of analysis of variance by considering several different mathematical models is examined, including fixed-effects models with independent observations of equal variance and other models with different observations of variance.
Book ChapterDOI
Mechanisms of Fertilization in Mammals
TL;DR: This chapter will discuss how mammalian spermatozoa prepare themselves for fertilization and how the spermatozosa and eggs interact during fertilization.
