Extracting temporal features into a spatial domain using autoencoders for sperm video analysis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
In this paper, we present a two-step deep learning method that is used to predict sperm motility and morphology-based on video recordings of human spermatozoa. First, we use an autoencoder to extract temporal features from a given semen video and plot these into image-space, which we call feature-images. Second, these feature-images are used to perform

Human sperm cells swimming in micro-channels [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
The migratory abilities of motile human spermatozoa in vivo are essential for natural fertility, but it remains a mystery what properties distinguish the tens of cells which find an egg from the millions of cells ejaculated. To reach the site of fertilization, sperm must traverse narrow and convoluted channels, filled with viscous fluids.

Evidence for Rapid Oxidative Phosphorylation and Lactate Fermentation in Motile Human Sperm by Hyperpolarized 13C Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
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 ...

Sperm DNA fragmentation and oxidation are independent of malondialdheyde

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2011
Background There is clinical evidence to show that sperm DNA damage could be a marker of sperm quality and extensive data exist on the relationship between DNA damage and male fertility status.

Sperm motility and monthly variations of semen characteristics in Perca fluviatilis (Teleostei: Percidae)

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2010
Dynamics of sperm motility (sperm velocity, percentage of motility and flagellar beat frequency) and monthly variations of semen characteristics (semen volume and osmolality and sperm concentration and motility) were studied in Perca fluviatilis.

Analysis of the impact of cryopreservation and theophylline on motility of sperm

open access: yesMiddle East Fertility Society Journal, 2018
Objective: Sperm parameters, particularly motility, decrease during cryopreservation. Theophylline generally enhances sperm motility. We analyzed effects of theophylline and freezing on sperm motility.Design: Experimental study.Setting: Private IVF lab ...

Serum lipid profiles are associated with semen quality

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2017
We aimed to explore the associations between different lipid profiles and semen quality in a large-scale general male population. Sperm concentration, total sperm motility, progressive motility, and normal sperm morphology of total 7601 participants were
