“…Fertilization is a delicately programmed process comprised of numerous cellular and molecular events of sequence. The fertilization process in human involves sperm and oocyte binding, acrosome reaction, oocyte activation, the oocyte and sperm pronuleus and genetic material fusion [3]. During this process, any changes in the extracellular environment would influence fertilization and the development of embryos.…”

“…In order to address the potential link between BMI and sperm fertilizing ability, we used the ZB assay, which is a proven indirect indicator of sperm defects 6 and has previously been described as a relevant diagnostic tool for the prediction of IVF ability. 7,8 To our knowledge, this is the first study to directly assess the ZB ability of spermatozoa in relation to BMI. We could not find any significant association between BMI and the results of the ZB test.…”

“…The test compares the binding ability of spermatozoa from the studied population to those from a fertile control population. 6 Data in the literature confirm that it is a relevant diagnostic tool for the prediction of in vitro fertilization (IVF) ability, 7,8 especially in case of idiopathic or mild male factor infertility. 2 The aim of this study was to evaluate whether BMI was related to sperm-ZP binding ability, as assessed by the ZB test.…”
