Out of the publications of the last three years concerning the influence of the epididymis on the male fertility those with practical relevance were reviewed. Several qualities of the spermatozoa were influenced by the epididymis: the metabolism, the functions of cell membrane, the fertilizing capacity, the ability to bind to zonae pellucidae of the oocytes and the motility. The motility depends on the electrolytes, androgenes, cAMP-system and the forward motility protein in the epididymis. Furthermore investigations exist dealing with the inhibition of the maturation of spermatozoa during the epididymal transit as a mean of contraception. The conclusion is supported that male fertility demands only a weak or a reversible disturbance of the epididymis. An other possibility would be the in vitro maturation of testicular spermatozoa.
在过去三年中，有关附睾对男性生育能力影响的出版物中，对具有实际相关性的内容进行了综述。附睾会影响精子的几个特性：新陈代谢、细胞膜功能、受精能力、与卵母细胞透明带结合的能力以及运动能力。运动能力取决于附睾中的电解质、雄激素、环磷酸腺苷系统和正向运动蛋白。此外，还存在关于在附睾运输过程中抑制精子成熟作为一种避孕手段的研究。得出的结论是，男性生育能力仅需要附睾有轻微或可逆的干扰。另一种可能性是睾丸精子的体外成熟。
