Fertilization failure and gamete health: Is there a link?
Fertilization is a hallmark event of sexual reproduction marked by the fusion of male and female gamete to form zygote. It is a highly complex, yet a robust process that is intricately regulated by various signalling molecules. A healthy fertilization is determined by the quality of zygote which is contingent on the health of egg and sperm. The relationship between infertility and gametic healt...
متن کاملDiagnostic and prognostic value of calcium oscillatory pattern analysis for patients with ICSI fertilization failure.
STUDY QUESTION Does calcium oscillatory pattern analysis following heterologous intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) of human sperm into mouse oocytes lead to diagnostic and prognostic information for patients suffering from ICSI fertilization failure? SUMMARY ANSWER We found that calcium oscillatory pattern analysis following heterologous ICSI has the strength to reveal, for the individu...
متن کاملTreatment option for sperm- or oocyte-related fertilization failure: assisted oocyte activation following diagnostic heterologous ICSI.
BACKGROUND Failed fertilization occurs in 2-3% of ICSI cycles and is mainly due to lack of oocyte activation. Heterologous ICSI of patient's sperm in mouse oocytes allows discrimination between sperm- and oocyte-related aetiologies of activation failure. Assisted oocyte activation (AOA) by Ca-ionophore treatment can initiate fertilization in subsequent therapeutic ICSI. We report on diagnosis a...
متن کاملMouse Gamete Interactions during Fertilization in Vitro
We have developed an assay for detecting the acrosome reaction in mouse sperm using chlortetracycline (CTC) as a fluorescent probe . Sperm known to be intact with nonreacted acrosomes show CTC fluorescence in the presence of Ca" over the anterior portion of the sperm head on the plasma membrane covering the acrosome . Sperm which have undergone the acrosome reaction do not show fluorescence on ...
متن کاملGamete Attachment Requires GEX2 for Successful Fertilization in Arabidopsis
Fertilization requires recognition, attachment, and membrane fusion between gametes. In metazoans, rapidly evolving surface proteins contribute to gamete recognition and adhesion. Flowering plants evolved a double fertilization process wherein two immotile sperm cells are delivered to female gametes by the pollen tube, guided by elaborate communications between male and female reproductive orga...
