Caspase activity and apoptotic markers in ejaculated human sperm.
The objectives of this study were to determine if human ejaculated sperm exhibit active caspases and if caspase-dependent apoptosis markers are identifiable. Sperm from fertile donors and infertile patients were examined after gradient separation into leukocyte-free fractions of high and low motility. Sperm were evaluated for motion parameters, morphology, caspase activation, and apoptosis mark...
متن کاملAdenylate kinase activity in ABC transporters.
ABC transporters are remarkably versatile machines that move a wide array of substances, including both hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules across membranes (1-4). They are constructed with a modular design; each transporter has two nucleotidebinding domains (NBDs) and two membrane-spanning domains (often comprising six transmembrane helices). The NBDs are highly conserved modules that intera...
متن کاملCooling of ejaculated and epididymal stallion sperm
After a serious injury or sudden death, epididymis cauda sperm recovery and cryopreservation may present as the last opportunity to obtain genetic material from a valuable stallion. This study evaluated the viability of cooled equine sperm collected by three different methods: sperm of ejaculated (G1), sperm recovered from the epididymal cauda immediately after orchiectomy (G2) and sperm recove...
متن کاملActivation of spermatozoan adenylate cyclase by a low molecular weight factor in porcine seminal plasma.
The ejaculated porcine spermatozoa were fractionated into the cytosol, membrane, midpiece plus tail (flagella) and head fractions, and their adenylate cyclase activities were measured. About 65% of the total activity was located in the flagella fraction. For all the fractions, Mn2+-dependent adenylate cyclase activity was about 20 times higher than Mg2+-dependent activity, and guanine nucleotid...
متن کاملStarting transients in sea urchin sperm flagella
Live sea urchin spermatozoa were rendered immotile by lowered pH; Triton-extracted spermatozoa were rendered immotile by either lowered pH or by deprivation of ATP. The spermatozoa began to beat after an increase in pH or as ATP was supplied, and the first bends were recorded on ciné film. Triton-extracted spermatozoa deprived of ATP retained a partially formed basal bend which could be either ...
