The use of the Salt Stored Zona Assay in the study of the sperm function: methodological approach.
The authors mention many tests to study sperm function. On their opinion, the best model to evaluate spermo-oocyte interaction is the in vitro fertilization but it cannot be considered a test for ethical and practical problems. To overcome these problems they propose the Salt Stored Zona Assay to evaluate the spermatozoa.
