Evidence for Rapid Oxidative Phosphorylation and Lactate Fermentation in Motile Human Sperm by Hyperpolarized 13C Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy [PDF]
Poor sperm motility is a common cause of male infertility for which there are no empirical therapies. Sperm motility is powered by adenosine triphosphate but the relative importance of lactate fermentation and Oxidative Phosphorylation (OxPhos) is ...

PRESERVATION OF GARUT RAMS SPERMATOZOON AS A SOURCE OF MALE GERM PLASM [PDF]
This study was conducted to examine the quality of ejaculated sperm by Garut rams to be used for artificial insemination (AI) and viability of sperm that were collected from preserved cauda epididymis (4°C up to 12 days) for assisted reproductive ...

Assessing coral sperm motility [PDF]
AbstractThe declining reproductive viability of corals threatens their ability to adapt to changing ocean conditions. It is vital that we monitor this viability quantitatively and comparatively. Computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) systems offer in-depth analysis used regularly for domestic and wildlife species, but not yet for coral.

Within 40 s the Sperm Quality Analyzer (United Medical Systems, Santa Ana, CA, USA) provides a numerical value called the sperm motility index. This index reflects both the concentration of motile sperm cells and the intensity of their motility and cannot be determined by conventional semen analysis.

Effect of electroacupuncture on total motile sperm count and sperm motility. [PDF]
Background: Approximately 50% of infertility cases are attributed to male factors. Acupuncture has long been employed as a complementary therapy to enhance male infertility treatment outcomes. This study aimed to assess the impact of electroacupuncture (EA) therapy on sperm motility and TMSC in male infertility patients.

Clinically relevant enhancement of human sperm motility using compounds with reported phosphodiesterase inhibitor activity [PDF]
STUDY QUESTION: Can we identify compound(s) with reported phosphodiesterase inhibitor (PDEI) activity that could be added to human spermatozoa in vitro to enhance their motility without compromising other sperm functions?

Human sperm RNA code senses dietary sugar. [PDF]
A new study reveals that a high-sugar diet acutely alters human sperm small RNA profiles after 1 week and that these changes are associated with changes in sperm motility.

Evidence of the presence of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV in human sperm and its involvement in motility regulation [PDF]
The mechanisms involved in the regulation of mammalian sperm motility are not well understood. Calcium ions (Ca(2+)) have been suggested to play a key role in the maintenance of motility; nevertheless, how Ca(2+) modulates this process has not yet been ...
