Low acrosin activity in polyzoospermia.
Compared to normozoospermic men total sperm acrosin activity is considerably decreased (-59,1%) in patients with polyzoospermia indicating a functional defect of the proteolytic potential of the sperm acrosome, which may be responsible for the reduced fertility observed in this group of patients.
