Acrosin activity in pelleted frozen sperm does not correlate with in vitro fertilization of oocytes
Abstract
Spermatozoa pelleted after swim-up were frozen and then analysed in batches for acrosin activity, using a spectrophotometric method, and expressed as microIU micrograms DNA-1. A total of 259 sperm samples were analysed and the acrosin activity compared with fertilization in vitro. Of these, 224 samples fertilized at least one oocyte and 35 samples failed to fertilize any oocyte. Analysis by Student's t-test indicated that there was a …
