Abstract:
The use of an aromatase blocker or an estrogen blocker is described in a method for increasing spermatogenesis and Seritolli cell function, and/or improving Leydig cell function, in order to to increase endogenous testosterone levels in a male mammal. The levels of active materials used are significantly lower than the levels of these materials used to treat female estrogen sensitive tumors.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to field of fertility. The invention identifies biological ovarian markers from follicular cells, from follicular fluid, from cumulus cells and from oocytes which are indicative of follicular maturity in mammals. Described are methods for improving ovarian stimulation, methods for assessing maturity of a mammalian ovarian follicle, methods for optimizing in vitro maturation (IVM) and methods for classifying an embryo, these methods being based on assessment of expression level of ovarian markers indicative of maturity. Also described are methods for screening compounds stimulatory of or inhibitory to mammalian follicular maturation, kits for evaluating follicular maturity.

Abstract:
Methods for improving the functionality and/or fertility of sperm, for example, by enhancing motility and extending the lifespan of sperm in the female reproductive tract, by adding PEG to the surface of the sperm are provided. Such methods may be used in artificial insemination to reduce the number of sperm needed for insemination and to improve conception rates.
