Mitochondrial morphology in fertile and infertile men: image processing and morphometric analysis of the sperm midpiece

10 Jun 2025

Abstract excerpt

Introduction: The male factor is responsible for 50% of infertility cases. Numerous studies have explored the relationship between human sperm morphology assessed via optical and electron microscopy and reproductive outcomes. In the sperm midpiece, mitochondria are arranged in a helical shape, forming a compact sheath. Disruptions in this precise mitochondrial structure, size, or organization may contribute to...
