Ultrastructural studies on the surface membrane of the mouse egg.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fertilized and unfertilized mouse eggs were examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy for evidence of mosaicism in the organization and concanavalin A-binding properties of their surface membranes. No obvious quantitative mosaicism in concanavalin A binding was noted. The egg membrane was microvillous over most of its surface, but was smooth in the region overlying the 2nd metaphase spindle of the unfertilized egg and on the polar body of the fertilized egg.

Background: The complications of diabetes are the major problems that occur in diabetic patients. It has been reported that, insulin insufficiency and the impairment of regulatory action of this hormone on Leydig and Sertoli cells have an important role in testicular alterations. Testicular disorders and change in normal spermatogenesis is one of the consequences of diabetes. This study was des...
متن کاملOxidative membrane damage and its involvement in gamma radiation-induced apoptotic cell death.
Background: Recent results have provided increasing evidence to support involvement of membrane damage in the mechanism of ionizing radiation induced killing of mammalian cells. These findings have stimulated renewed interest in evaluating the damage to membrane as a primary initiator in radiation-induced cell killing especially in apoptotic death. The present study was aimed to gain deeper ins...

Background: Hen egg yolk is a common component of most semen cryopreservation extenders. However, diluents containing the egg yolk may have adverse effects on the quality of the semen. Egg yolk could be solubilized by the addition of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) in semen extenders. Many studies have shown beneficial effects of antioxidants addition to semen freezing extenders. Antioxidants are...
