Abstract
This disclosure provides a method for determining male fertility status. The method comprises determining Glocalization patterns following induced sperm capacitation, identifying the percentage of various patterns, particularly the ratio of [(AA+APM)/total number of Glocalization patterns] and determining if the percentage of certain Glocalization patterns in response to induced capacitation is altered. Based on the change in the percentage of localization patterns of certain patterns in response to induced capacitation, alone or in combination with other sperm attributes, male fertility status can be identified.
