Estudio «in vitro» de la influencia de la osmolaridad del plasma seminal en la morfología del espermatozoide

Sperm morphology is acquired by sperm during the epididymal maturation. It was found that changing in vitro seminal plasma osmolality did not seem to affect it. Only extremely high values of osmolality cause the formation of macrocephalic sperm heads and a progressive loss of viability. These in vitro assays can help us to understand the biochemical seminal plasma effect in the male gamete.
