Type of article: Article
Summary
The effectiveness of three amino acids, glutamine, proline and histidine, and one amino acid-related compound, betaine, in preserving human sperm diluted v/v in a basal medium containing 14% glycerol during the freeze-thaw (FT) process was studied. The presence of glutamine at 80 millimoles in a glycerol-FT medium maintains human sperm motility and fertilizing ability during the FT process.
