1 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
Previous work from our laboratory has revealed that extracellular ATP is a rapid and potent activator of human sperm acrosome reaction and fertilizing ability. In the present study, we assessed the effects of in-vitro sperm incubation with ATP on fertilization and embryo development in couples undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) for male factor infertility.
