According to recent research from Japan published in the journal Biology of Reproduction, anti-hyaluronidase oligosaccharide derived from chondroitin sulfate A effectively reduces polyspermy during in vitro fertilization of porcine oocytes. "The present study was conducted to examine the effects of chondroitin sulfate A-derived oligosaccharide (ChSAO) on hyaluronidase activity and in vitro fertilization (IVF) parameters," wrote H.

After in vitro...
