Evaluation of chromatin condensation in human spermatozoa: a flow cytometric assay using acridine orange staining.
TL;DR: The use of swim-up and Percoll gradient centrifugation methods was shown to improve the percentage of spermatozoa with normal chromatin structure in some samples with poor initial quality.
Carnitine and acetylcarnitine in motile and immotile human spermatozoa
TL;DR: Human sperm were found to contain acetylcarnitine, carn itine, and only traces of propionylc Carnitine and four-carbon acyl carnitines, and the degree of acylation of carnitine was greater in sperm than in seminal plasma.

TL;DR: The use of flow cytometry and FISH in cases where genetic and developmental chromatin abnormalities are suspected is a valuable adjunct to other available techniques, and can guide the clinicians to decide which samples are unsuitable for intracytoplasmic injection.
Flow cytometry of human semen: a preliminary study of a non-invasive method for the detection of spermatogenetic defects
TL;DR: The flow cytometric method differentiated between cases of 'Sertoli cell-only' syndrome (complete absence of tetraploid and haploid cells) and cases where spermatogenesis was blocked in meiosis or in spermiogenesis.

In-vitro human spermatozoa nuclear decondensation assessed by flow cytometry.
TL;DR: In cases where spermatozoa fail to produce a fertilized egg the cause may lie with defective chromatin quality, including failure of the sperm chromatin to decondense, the method described here is a simple procedure for detecting sperm samples containing such defective cells.
