Effects of pentoxifylline in the hamster zona-free oocyte spermatozoa penetration assay and on spermatozoa transmembrane migration motility.

The effects of pentoxifylline on capacitation, acrosome reaction and motility of spermatozoa in vitro were evaluated by the hamster zona-free oocyte penetration assay and the transmembrane migration method, respectively. The improvement in penetration capacity by the addition of pentoxifylline 40 min before coincubation had a trend toward statistical significance (0.05 less than less than 0.1) in normal fertile men and had statistical significance (p less than 0.05) in asthenospermic patients. There was no improvement by the addition of pentoxifylline 16 h before coincubation. Pentoxifylline significantly increased sperm motility in both normal (p less than 0.001) and asthenospermic patients (p less than 0.05) in the transmembrane migration method. This study showed that pentoxifylline could be used as a stimulant of in vitro sperm motility in male infertility.[1]
