The electron microscopic results<br />
<strong>in</strong> our study showed that the rate<br />
of acrosome reaction was time<br />
dependent, with a maximum of 5<br />
hours. However, the<br />
fertilization rate was the highest<br />
when the spermatozoa were<br />
<strong>in</strong>cubated for 3 hours.<br />
Although the acrosome<br />
reaction <strong>in</strong>creases with<br />
time there may be an<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> chromat<strong>in</strong><br />
decondensation <strong>in</strong> the<br />
sperm head that adversely<br />
affects fertilization.<br />
Therefore, based on the<br />
results of this study it is<br />
recommended to allow a<br />
3 hour <strong>in</strong>cubation period<br />
for spermatozoa before<br />
<strong>ICSI</strong> to obta<strong>in</strong> the best<br />
fertilization rate.<br />
