Defective sperm decondensation: a cause for fertilization failure

Abstract excerpt

The study aimed to evaluate the role of chromatin packaging (CMA3 staining), sperm morphology during sperm-zona binding, sperm decondensation and the presence of polar bodies in oocytes that failed in vitro fertilization (IVF). The percentage CMA3 staining categorized the data into three groups, < 44%, n = 10; > or = 44-59%, n = 10; and > or = 60%, n = 29. Morphology groups were < or = 4% (n = 11); > 4-14% (n =...
