Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hyaluronate and strontium with short and prolonged incubation periods on different sperm parameters. For sperm intended for in vitro fertilization good progressive motility, a high percentage of normal form, a suitable linear velocity and a low acrosome-reacted proportion of sperm are required. The semen washing procedure in the self-migration method with medium containing hyaluronate Ca2+ after 3 h of incubation complies better with these criteria.
