Cat (Felis catus L.) spermatozoa require capacitation.
In the oestrous female cat, fertilization can take place when spermatozoa are introduced into the vagina up to 49 hr after an ovulation-inducing injection of human chorionic gonadotrophin. The spermatozoa require residence in the female reproductive tract before they are capable of fertilizing the eggs in vitro. No eggs were fertilized by freshly ejaculated spermatozoa. One of four oestrous fem...
متن کاملBioenergetics of Mammalian Sperm Capacitation
After ejaculation, the mammalian male gamete must undergo the capacitation process, which is a prerequisite for egg fertilization. The bioenergetics of sperm capacitation is poorly understood despite its fundamental role in sustaining the biochemical and molecular events occurring during gamete activation. Glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) are the two major metabol...
متن کاملAnalysis of chaperone proteins associated with human spermatozoa during capacitation.
Mammalian spermatozoa must undergo a post-ejaculatory period of maturation, known as capacitation, before they can engage in the process of fertilization. Studies in the mouse have established that capacitation facilitates sperm-zona recognition via mechanisms that involve the appearance of tyrosine phosphorylated chaperone proteins on the sperm surface overlying the acrosome, the site of sperm...
متن کاملEvaluation of in vitro capacitation of stallion spermatozoa.
The primary aim of this study was to establish a flow cytometric technique for determining the capacitation status of stallion spermatozoa. To this end, a flow cytometric technique that demonstrates changes in plasma membrane fluidity; namely, merocyanine 540 staining, was compared with the more conventional Ca(2+)-dependent fluorescence microscopic technique, chlortetracycline (CTC) staining, ...
متن کاملRedox regulation of mammalian sperm capacitation
Capacitation is a series of morphological and metabolic changes necessary for the spermatozoon to achieve fertilizing ability. One of the earlier happenings during mammalian sperm capacitation is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that will trigger and regulate a series of events including protein phosphorylation, in a time-dependent fashion. The identity of the sperm oxidase respo...
