A healthy well-androgenized male with no apparent defects of the endocrine system or ciliated epithelium presented with suspected infertility. A detailed electron-microscopic analysis of the semen showed viable but immotile spermatozoa manifesting a complex spectrum of fine-structural defects primarily in the flagella. The complex of deficits that can be appreciated only at the fine-structural level underscores the importance of electron-microscopic analysis in the evaluation of semen samples where the primary defect is a lack of motility.
一名身体健康、雄激素水平正常的男性,内分泌系统或纤毛上皮无明显缺陷,但出现了疑似不育症的症状。对其精液进行的详细电子显微镜分析显示,精子存活但不活动,主要在鞭毛部位表现出一系列复杂的细微结构缺陷。只有在细微结构层面才能发现的这些缺陷组合,凸显了电子显微镜分析在评估以缺乏活力为主要缺陷的精液样本中的重要性。
