Motility evaluation of human spermatozoa
In this contribution we investigate the applicability of photon correlation techniques as a clinical tool for the evaluation of motility parameters of undiluted human sperm. Measurements on semen samples, selected visually for 'good' motility, yielded reproducible estimates of the fraction motile spermatozoa and the mean speed of the motile cells.
متن کاملMotility of spermatozoa at surfaces.
The hydrodynamic basis for the accumulation of spermatozoa at surfaces has been investigated. The general conclusion is that when spermatozoa arrive at a surface, they will remain there if the vector of the time-averaged thrust is directed towards that surface. This can arise in two basic ways. First, consider spermatozoa that maintain a three-dimensional waveform and roll (spin) as they progre...
متن کاملFormation of Hydrogen Peroxide by Chilled Goat Spermatozoa and the Effects of Dead Spermatozoa on Motility Characteristics
In this study, the formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by chilled goat spermatozoa was measured. Furthermore, the effects of dead spermatozoa on motility characteristics were studied. Fresh collected ejaculates from five Shami bucks were centrifuged and virtually all seminal plasma was removed. A part of the collected spermatozoa was killed by two ways: the first by repe...
متن کاملHuman mtDNA haplogroups associated with high or reduced spermatozoa motility.
A variety of mtDNA mutations responsible for human diseases have been associated with molecular defects in the OXPHOS system. It has been proposed that mtDNA genetic alterations can also be responsible for sperm dysfunction. In addition, it was suggested that if sperm dysfunction is the main phenotypic consequence, these mutations could be fixed as stable mtDNA variants, because mtDNA is matern...
متن کاملProteasomes in human spermatozoa.
In the present study we describe the localization of proteasomes in human spermatozoa by means of immunolabelling with different monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies detected by confocal microscopy. Western blotting confirmed the specificity of the antibodies and has shown that proteasomes are present in spermatozoa and in seminal fluid. In spermatozoa proteasomes are concentrated in the neck r...
