ABSTRACT
Media prepared with egg yolk and two buffers, TES and Tris, called TEST-yolk have been shown to have beneficial effects on the survivability, fertilizing capacity and storage potential of human spermatozoa. Egg yolk lipoproteins are the critical compounds for the beneficial effects, with a synergistic effect due to the TES-Tris buffer component. TEST-yolk media have been used in the sperm penetration assay, the hemizona assay, sperm preparation for clinical in-vitro fertilization, artificial insemination with homologous spermatozoa, cryopreservation, sperm samples with a positive antisperm antibody test, and preparation for techniques requiring capacitated spermatozoa. Few harmful consequences of TEST-yolk have been reported, although controlled trials are required to evaluate therapeutic effects in the treatment of male infertility.
