Idiopathic oligozoospermia is one of the most important problems in Andrology, but up to now it is poorly understood because the often routine conventional semen parameters, unquestionably are not directly related to the evaluation of the morphological and functional integrity that determines the spermatozoan fertilizing capacity. A non complex strategy was designed to determine the presence of alterations in the functional integrity of the spermatozoa from infertile men with idiopathic oligozoospermia and from euspermic fertile men, by the quantitative analysis of the spermatozoan motility and the acrosome reaction. There was a lower percentage of acrosome reacted spermatozoa within the semen of the infertile men, accompanied with a significant decrease in the motility percentage, sperm velocity and motility index in comparison with semen from fertile men. These data strongly support a possible detrimental structural and functional integrity of the spermatozoa from the oligozoospermic men.
