A critical review of the physiological importance and analysis of sperm movement in mammals
Abstract
The identification of human sperm hyperactivated motility has potential importance in sperm function tests, as well as in quality control assays and in reproductive toxicology investigations. However, relatively little is known about this phenomenon and the variety of definitions used for hyperactivation has led to a great deal of confusion as to its occurrence and physiological relevance. This presentation is a critical review of a number of aspects of hyperactivated motility, including its identification and potential role(s) in mammalian fertilization. The initial sections of the review consider the mechanisms involved in the development and maintenance of mammalian sperm motility, and the structural and functional changes in spermatozoa which occur during transport through the female reproductive tract. The methods available for the quantification of aspects of sperm movement are also discussed, with an historical overview of sperm movement analysis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
