Single layer centrifugation-selected boar spermatozoa are capable of fertilization in vitro
Sjunnesson, Ylva; Morrell, Jane; Gonzalez Herrero, Raquel;Abstract
Conclusion: The use of SLC does not adversely affect the in vitro fertilizing and embryo-generating ability of the selected spermatozoa compared to their unselected counterparts, but further modifications in the IVF conditions would be needed to improve the monospermy in IVF systems. Since SLC did not appear to have a negative effect on sperm fertilizing ability, and may in fact select for spermatozoa with a greater potential for fertilization, an in vivo trial to determine the usefulness of this sperm preparation technique prior to artificial insemination is warranted.
