The ability of human spermatozoa to fertilization was assessed using hamster oocyte penetration test. The sperm examined after preservation in liquid nitrogen was obtained from 18 males with normozoospermia, 12 infertile and 6 fertile. There was very significant difference between these two groups. Hamster oocyte penetration test could be useful in male infertility diagnostics, especially when routine sperm analysis is normal.
