The standard sperm parameters, and a newly developed assay, the hypoosmotic swelling (HOS) test, of 208 ejaculates were correlated with in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome to assess their predictive value of the fertilizing capacity of spermatozoa. One hundred fifty-three (73.6%) of the ejaculates possessed spermatozoa that fertilized at least one oocyte and were considered fertile. Among the semen parameters studied, only the HOS test had a relatively high (r = 0.46, p less than 0.001) association with the fertilizing capacity of the spermatozoa. This test was also able to predict the outcome of IVF more reliably than the other semen parameters studied.

D012661 Semen The thick, yellowish-white, viscid fluid secretion of male reproductive organs discharged upon ejaculation. In addition to reproductive organ secretions, it contains SPERMATOZOA and their nutrient plasma. Seminal Plasma,Plasma, Seminal
D013081 Sperm Motility Movement characteristics of SPERMATOZOA in a fresh specimen. It is measured as the percentage of sperms that are moving, and as the percentage of sperms with productive flagellar motion such as rapid, linear, and forward progression.

D013094 Spermatozoa Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.
