چکیده

the swim-up procedure was used to collect a sperm fraction with improved motility and normal morphology from fertile and infertile semen samples. the untreated and swim-up fractions were analyzed with the hamilton-thorn motility analyser. comparisons were made to see the effect of this sperm selection technique on sperm motility and morphology. they were then examined by transmission electron microscopy and the various sperm morphologies were recorded. fertile and infertile samples were compared for differences in these parameters. there were no significant differences between fertile and infertile samples in the frequencies of various sperm morphologies in the untreated and swim-up fractions. there was a trend towards fertile samples having a higher motility of the untreated ejaculate, as well as more normal heads and tails and fewer morphological abnormalities than infertile samples. sperm motility was found to be affected by sperm morphology, with an increase in normal sperm morphology resulting in an increase in motility. normal sperm tail morphology appears to be the most important factor in motility, since this was the only morphology to show a significant increase in the swim-up fractions in all semen samples. head morphology is less important to motility, but it is thought to play a major role in fertilization of the egg.

Sperm morphology, motility, and concentration in fertile and infertile men.

BACKGROUND Although semen analysis is routinely used to evaluate the male partner in infertile couples, sperm measurements that discriminate between fertile and infertile men are not well defined. METHODS We evaluated two semen specimens from each of the male partners in 765 infertile couples and 696 fertile couples at nine sites. The female partners in the infertile couples had normal result...

Correlation between sperm parameters and sperm DNA fragmentation in fertile and infertile men

Background: It is established that sperm DNA integrity is essential in fertilization and normal embryo and fetal development. Routine semen analysis gives an approximate evaluation of the functional competence of spermatozoa, but does not always reflect the quality of sperm DNA. Therefore, the evaluation of sperm DNA integrity, in addition to routine sperm parameters, could add further informat...

A Correlation of Serum Inhibin with Sperm Count and Sperm Motility in Fertile and Infertile Males

Inhibin is produced by Sertoli cells of the testis, provides negative feedback on FSH secretion, and may prove to be an important marker for the functioning of seminiferous tubules. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the spermatogenic function of the tests of subfertile men and the plasma concentrations of inhibin. The study was carried out on twenty infertile (or...

Correlation of sperm morphology and oxidative stress in infertile men

Background: Excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the semen is believed to affect fertility in men. Morphologically abnormal sperms and their relation to seminal oxidative stress in infertile and subfertile men are not clear. Objective: To correlate various sperm morphological defects with seminal oxidative stress in infertile and subfertile men. Materials and Methods: The study included 25 p...
