The success of in vitro fertilization depends on many factors, one of which is sperm viability. A recent study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign documents a new way to select viable ...

At 0 hours, IVF efficiency (fertilized zygotes vs. total number of eggs) was significantly greater with sperm that were initially attached to suLe X (at 53%) than a control with no oviduct compounds ...

The time delays decreased fertilization rates for all groups, but less so for suLeX. In the control group with no oviduct glycans, fertilization was down to 1% at the 24-hour time point.

Then, once the egg arrives, the fallopian tube — also known as the oviduct — allows only healthy-looking sperm to unstick from the wall. "As soon as a sperm is not OK, the oviduct doesn't ...

That would indicate whether OVGP1 is the only glycoprotein involved in determining species-specificity. Alternatively, the authors could immunodeplete OVGP1 from oviductal fluid and then ascertain ...

Abstract The oviduct is an important reproductive structure that connects the ovary to the uterus and takes place to important events such as oocyte final maturation, fertilization and early embryonic ...
