Abstract
Relaxin, a hormone usually associated with pregnancy, has been found in the semen plasma of many species. The prostate gland appears to be a source of relaxin. Relaxin stimulates sperm motility from suboptimal samples and increases sperm penetration into oocytes. Thus, relaxin may be an effective therapeutic agent in male infertility.Keywords
