Extend the Survival of Human Sperm In Vitro in Non-Freezing Conditions: Damage Mechanisms, Preservation Technologies, and Clinical Applications

open access: yesCells, 2022
Preservation of human spermatozoa in vitro at normothermia or hypothermia maintaining their functions and fertility for several days plays a significant role in reproductive biology and medicine.

Computational Modelling of Sperm Behaviour in a 3D Virtual Oviduct [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The processes by which individual sperm cells navigate the length and complexity of the female reproductive tract and then reach and fertilise the oocyte are fascinating. Numerous complex processes potentially influence the movement of spermatozoa within

Effect of somatometric parameters on the prevalence and severity of varicocele: a systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2021
Background Published studies have shown contradictory results regarding the relationship between somatometric parameters and varicoceles. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the possible effects of age, height, weight, and ...

Cryopreservation of single-sperm: where are we today?

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2020
Background Patients with severe oligospermia and nonobstructive azoospermia have very limited numbers of viable sperm in their epididymal and testicular samples. Thus, cryopreservation of their sperm is performed to avoid repeated sperm retrievals and to

Sperm Competition, Sperm Numbers and Sperm Quality in Muroid Rodents

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Sperm competition favors increases in relative testes mass and production efficiency, and changes in sperm phenotype that result in faster swimming speeds. However, little is known about its effects on traits that contribute to determine the quality of a whole ejaculate (i.e., proportion of motile, viable, morphologically normal and acrosome intact ...

Gamete evolution and sperm numbers: sperm competition versus sperm limitation [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014
Both gamete competition and gamete limitation can generate anisogamy from ancestral isogamy, and both sperm competition (SC) and sperm limitation (SL) can increase sperm numbers. Here, we compare the marginal benefits due to these two components at any given population level of sperm production using the risk and intensity models in sperm economics. We

Cryopreservation of common carp sperm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of five extenders (sucrose, glucose, fructose, KCl and a saline carp sperm extender) and two cryoprotectants (dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO) and methanol) on the cryopreservation of common carp sperm ...
