Altered sperm-transit constrains the process of fertilization of the oocyte, leading to post-ovulatory overripeness ovopathy (PoOO), which leads to defective implantation in animals, transitory retardation in the rate of development, and increased prenatal loss (12,13).
This phenomenon explains some theoretical constructions necessary for explaining the inconsistencies and controversies in epidemiologic data (21), namely, distortion by differential prenatal loss or an inverted dose-response gradient (22,23), or the dose-response fallacy (24).
