[Follicular fluid: role and importance in the preparation of spermatozoa for fertilization]
Abstract
It has been demonstrated that the preovulatory follicular fluid creates a micro-environment which is of importance for normal sperm function. In this paper, we attempt to evaluate the role of human follicular fluid (HFF) on the fertilizing capacity of spermatozoa.
