AbstractThe effect of clomiphene citrate (CC) at various concentrations (0.005, 0.05, 0.5, 5, and 50 μg/ml) on the in vitro motility and fertilizing capacity of human spermatozoa was studied. Spermatozoa collected from 14 normal men were washed in modified Krebs-Ringer solution (Biggers, Whitten and Whittingham [BWW] medium) and incubated with CC for 5 hours, the period required for spermatozoal capacitation. The percent motilities of spermatozoa were recorded at 0 and 5 hours during incubation with CC. After incubation, the spermatozoa were washed with BWW medium to remove CC before insemination of the zona-free hamster ova. CC caused a significant dose-dependent decrease in the penetration of denuded hamster ova in comparison with the control (P<0.05). Significant depressive effect on spermatozoal motility was observed with CC at 0.05 μg/ml or higher concentrations (P<0.05). These results indicate that (1) CC decreases human spermatozoal fertilizing capacity in vitro and (2) the inhibitory effect on fertilizing capacity could be due to the sperm-immobilizing activity of CC.
