Background
Cryopreservation is used for infertility treatment and for fertility preservation. The results of the use of frozen spermatozoa for ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) are lower than those of fresh spermatozoa. The phospholipase C Zeta (PLCζ) protein is involved in oocyte activation.
Objectives
The aim of this study was to compare the percentage of spermatozoa expressing phospholipase...
For over 30 years, sperm morphology assessment has been one of the most common tests in evaluation of fertility. This review examines the clinical relevance of sperm morphology assessment in the diagnosis of infertility and in assisted reproductive technology, as well as its analytical reliability. Publications on the pathophysiology, the analytical reliability of the test and its clinical relevance...
Purpose Assessment of sperm morphology has been reconsidered since 2001 with the development of motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME). This observation technique that combines high magnification microscopy and the Nomarski interference contrast makes it possible to select spermatozoa with as few vacuoles as possible before microinjection into the oocyte (intracytoplasmic morphologically...
To add new arguments concerning the origin of the sperm‐head vacuoles observed under high magnification with interference contrast microscopy, we carried out in two patients with total globozoospermia confirmed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), a detailed sperm morphometric analysis with high magnification (×6000) under Nomarski contrast, an acrosomal status analysis (using fluorescent...
