Abstract
Basic concepts of cryopreservation and the causes of cryoinjury are reviewed. The
possible roles of cryoprotectants and additives are considered in the context of their
putative interactions with the sperm plasma membrane. Modern approaches to the laboratory
assessment of spermatozoa after freeze-thawing are also briefly discussed.
