Regulation of taurine transport in rat hippocampal neurons by hypo-osmotic swelling

Establishment of an optimal hypo-osmotic swelling test by examining single spermatozoa in four different hypo-osmotic solutions.

In order to find an optimal hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST) and to identify viable sperm cells from patients with asthenozoospermia for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), we tested single motile and non-motile spermatozoa in four hypo-osmotic solutions by micromanipulation. The four solutions were: A, H2O; B, 50 mOsm NaCl; C, 150 mOsm NaCl and D, 150 mOsm sodium citrate and fructose. Eo...

The role of hypo-osmotic swelling test in recurrent abortions.

The role of male factors in abortions has not been studied extensively. We undertook this study to determine if there was any relationship between hypo-osmotic swelling test score and recurrent abortions. This was a cross-sectional case control study conducted at the semen analysis laboratory at a tertiary level referral centre. The male partners of 25 patients who had three or more first trime...
