Abstract
Background: Progesterone (P4) influences human sperm function by stimulating an elevation of intracellular calcium concentration [Ca2+]i. Assessment of the P4 response in sperm populations indicates an association between poor [Ca2+]i increase and reduced fertilisation capacity. Analysis of P4 sensitivity single donor sperm demonstrates heterogeneity in responsiveness and dynamics of [Ca2+]i increase.
