New Approaches to Define The Functional Competency of Human Sperm Subpopulations and Its Relationship to Semen Quality.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed at comparing a comprehensive set of functional and structural sperm characteristics between sperm motility fractions and correlating results to the standard semen parameters. By grouping related variables, our objective was to establish the predictive power of semen parameters and whether they accurately reflect the functionality of sperm motility fractions or merely a small set of parameters within individual fractions.
Materials and Methods: In this non-invasive experimental study, donor semen samples (n=55) were separated via
double density gradient centrifugation, isolating a high (HM) and low motile (LM) sperm fraction. Fractions were evaluated for percentage vitality, chromatin integrity, mature spermatozoa, motility and kinematic paramet
