Manipulation of bicarbonate concentration in sperm capacitation media improves in vitro fertilisation output in porcine species
Abstract Background The in vivo concentration of bicarbonate (HCO3 −), one of the essential sperm capacitating effectors, varies greatly in the different environments sperm go through from cauda epididymis to the fertilisation site. On the contrary, porcine in vitro sperm capacitation and fertilisat...
