A first prospective study of the individual straight line velocity of the spermatozoon and its influences on the fertilization rate after intracytoplasmic sperm injection.

چکیده
The straight line velocity of 500 individual spermatozoa was measured immediately before their direct injection into the cytoplasm of 500 metaphase II oocytes. The straight line velocity (VSL) did not have a normal distribution (P < 0.01) and ranged between 0 and 35 microm/s. The fertilization rate (84%) was significantly (P < 0.008) higher in the quartile of the sperm population with the highest VSL compared to the fertilization rate (68%) in the quartile with the lowest VSL. Embryo cleavage and embryo quality were not different in the quartiles of the sperm population used for injection.

Background: Digital image processing and analysis are used for computer assisted evaluation of sperm morphology. Sperm head morphology has been identified as a characteristic that can be used to predict a male’s semen quality. On the other hand, zygote competence analysis is an importance tool to select embryo(s) for transfer. The aim of the present study is to determine zygote quality resulted...

Background: CAPZA3 is one of the actin-capping proteins believed to be play an important role in controlling of actin polymerization during spermiogenesis and has been shown to be peresent in mature sperm. Immunohistochemistry showed that human CAPZA3 is localized in the neck region of ejaculated sperm, with moderate and faint signals also detected in the tail and post-acrosome region respectiv...
