title: [Methods for studying the sperm fertilizing capacity].
abstract: Spermatozoa achieve their fertilizing capacity through numerous biocellular changes occurring in male and female genital tracts. From testicular production to male pronucleus formation, the aim of this study is to point out the various laboratory techniques which have been developed to assay semen fertilizing capacity. Most assessments only investigate one of the aspects of sperm fertilizing ability, IVF only can appraise the whole process.
