title: [Effect of coitus on sperm transport and fertilization in rabbits].
abstract: The number of spermatozoa into the Fallopian tubes and levels of in vivo fertilization were measured following different treatment. The results show that copulation by the artificially inseminated animal has a strong influence on the transport of the rabbit spermatozoa and "in vitro" fertilization. This constitutes some more evidence about the physiological role played by the utero-tubal junction.
