Clinical Trial: Outcome of Using Sperm Bound to the Zona Pellucida of Immature Oocytes for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Condition:
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
Infertility, Male
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: The Natural Sperm Selection in Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
Brief Summary:
In vivo, the zona pellucida (ZP) of the oocyte can bind to normally functional sperm. The ZP-sperm interaction is one of the final steps of natural selection during their journey in the female reproductive tract. In the current study, we evaluated the ability of the ZP of immature oocytes to harvest the fittest sperm. We compared the embryological outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using conventionally selected sperm (control group) and ZP-bound sperm (intervention group). Our results showed no…
