Quantitative ultrastructural analysis of sperm tails reveals flagellar defects associated with persistent asthenozoospermia

1 Apr 1992

Abstract excerpt

Sperm tail morphology was examined in 10 infertile asthenozoospermic men to determine whether poor sperm motility was caused by ultrastructural defects of the flagellum. In this quantitative analysis, the numbers of outer doublet and central pair microtubules, outer and inner dynein arms and radial spokes were counted in transverse sections of 75 axonemes from each patient and compared with similar data...
