The human spermatozoon--not waving but drowning.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology - 1 Jan 2003

Aitken R John, Sawyer Dennis

Abstract excerpt

The poor quality of the human ejaculate sets man apart from all other mammalian species. Even in normal fertile men the ejaculate may contain up to 85% abnormal forms according to the World Heath Organization (1999). In the wake of this poor semen quality comes extremely poor fertility (Hull et al, 1985) and the highest rates of aneuploidy, pregnancy loss and birth defects in viviparous vertebrates. Thus, the...
