reproductive system

male infertility ( J:289149 )

• spermatozoa are unable to fertilize cumulus-intact oocytes and accumulate in the perivitelline space during in vitro fertilization

• spermatozoa are unable to fertilize zona pellucida-free oocytes

• however, testis appearance, size and weight are normal, testis epididymides show normal histology, and sperm exhibit normal morphology and motility

failure of sperm-egg fusion ( J:289149 )

• spermatozoa are able to bind to the oocyte surface but rarely fuse with the oocyte membrane
