Estrogen suppresses melatonin-enhanced hyperactivation of hamster spermatozoa
Hamster sperm hyperactivation is enhanced by progesterone, and this progesterone-enhanced hyperactivation is suppressed by 17β-estradiol (17βE2) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Although it has been indicated that melatonin also enhances hyperactivation, it is unknown whether melatonin-enhanced hyperactivation is also suppressed by 17βE2 and GABA. In the present study, melatonin-enhanced hyperac...
متن کاملSuppression of Progesterone-enhanced Hyperactivation in Hamster Spermatozoa by γ-aminobutyric Acid
It has been recently shown that mammalian spermatozoa were hyperactivated by steroids, amines and amino acids. In the present study, we investigated whether hyperactivation of hamster sperm is regulated by progesterone (P) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Although sperm hyperactivation was enhanced by P, GABA significantly suppressed P-enhanced hyperactivation in a dose-dependent manner. Suppres...
متن کاملChanges in flagellar bending during the course of hyperactivation in hamster spermatozoa.
The motility pattern of mammalian spermatozoa changes during migration in the female genital tract and during incubation in vitro. This change in motility is termed hyperactivation. Hyperactivated spermatozoa swim vigorously in 'whiplash', 'figure-8' or 'small circle' trajectories. In this study, a quantitative analysis was carried out of the changes in the motility pattern of hamster spermatoz...
متن کاملγ-Aminobutyric acid suppresses enhancement of hamster sperm hyperactivation by 5-hydroxytryptamine
Sperm hyperactivation is regulated by hormones present in the oviduct. In hamsters, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) enhances hyperactivation associated with the 5HT2 receptor and 5HT4 receptor, while 17β-estradiol (E2) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) suppress the association of the estrogen receptor and GABAA receptor, respectively. In the present study, we examined the regulatory interactions among 5...
متن کاملInhibition of hamster melanoma growth by estrogen.
A malignant hamster melanoma cell line HM-1 derived from the heterogenous malignant hamster melanoma MM1 contains a specific, high affinity binding protein for estrogens. Partial purification of the binding protein with ammonium sulfate (40% saturation) increased mean binding content (3.1 +/- 1.2 (SD) fmol/mg protein) 15-fold without any change in affinity (10(10) M-1). The binding protein sedi...
