Summary

THE EFFECT OF CRYOPRESERVATION ON HUMAN SPERMATOZOA IN THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF GLYCEROL WAS ASSESSED. NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE WAS OBSERVED BETWEEN THESE CRYOPRESERVED SPERMATOZOA (EITHER TREATED OR UNTREATED WITH GLYCEROL) ON THE PERCENTAGE OF MOTILE SPERM AND THE RATE OF OOCYTE PENETRATION WHEN THE SPERM WERE WASHED AND INCUBATED FOR 2 HR IN A MEDIUM CONTAINING NO GLYCEROL. IT APPEARS GLYCEROL MAY NOT BE BENEFICIAL, SINCE CRYOPRESERVATION OF SPERMATOZOA EITHER TREATED OR UNTREATED WITH GLYCEROL ESSENTIALLY YIELDS SIMILAR OOCYTE-PENETRATING CAPACITY OF SPERM.
