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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defective sperm–zona pellucida interaction: a major cause of failure of fertilization in clinical in-vitro fertilization
De Yi Liu,H. W. G. Baker +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, sperm-zona pellucida binding and penetration were assessed on oocytes that failed to fertilize from couples with >/=3 oocytes treated by standard in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of porcine sperm parameters on fertility in vivo.
TL;DR: Sperm motility is a useful indicator of sperm fertilization capacity in vivo and it is critical that the number of spermatozoa used during insemination is sufficiently low to detect differences in sperm fertilizing efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Failed fertilization: is it predictable?
Neal G. Mahutte,Aydin Arici +1 more
TL;DR: This review critically examines the ability of screening tests to predict fertilization failure in sperm injection cycles and finds that screening tests are likely to be inaccurate in cases of failed fertilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invited Review: The Search is on: Finding Accurate Molecular Markers of Male Fertility
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore areas of fertility diagnostic research, including what we have termed functional and molecular tests, and consider the accuracy of each test, and it is noteworthy that each diagnostic test may not be valuable in all species.

Predictive value of abnormal sperm morphology in in vitro fertilization
Thinus F. Kruger,Anibal A. Acosta,Anibal A. Acosta,K.F. Simmons,K.F. Simmons,R.J. Swanson,R.J. Swanson,J.F. Matta,J.F. Matta,Sergio Oehninger,Sergio Oehninger +10 more
TL;DR: By evaluating sperm morphology with the proposed strict criteria, its predictive value in in vitro fertilization is enhanced.

The hemizona assay (HZA): development of a diagnostic test for the binding of human spermatozoa to the human hemizona pellucida to predict fertilization potential * † ‡
Lani J. Burkman,Charles C. Coddington,Daniel R. Franken,Thinus F. Kruger,Zev Rosenwaks,Gary D. Hodgen +5 more
TL;DR: Sperm from fertile men exhibited significantly higher binding capacity to hemizonae compared with sperm from men who had fertilization failure during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, demonstrating that the HZA may be a useful diagnostic tool in male infertility evaluations.

TL;DR: The value of analyzing sperm morphology using the criteria recommended in terms of predicting fertilization and perhaps pregnancy outcome is demonstrated and a trend is shown in the pregnancy rate that may indicate the importance of the male genome in establishing a pregnancy.

Retention of Biologic Characteristics of Zona Pellucida in Highly Concentrated Salt Solution: The Use of Salt-Stored Eggs for Assessing the Fertilizing Capacity of Spermatozoa*

TL;DR: The present study suggests that salt-stored eggs can be used as substitutes for fresh living eggs in the preliminary assessment of fertilizing capacity of spermatozoa when collection of a large number of fresh unfertilized eggs, particularly in humans, is not practical.
