The development of a new male contraceptive requires a transition from animal model to
human and an understanding of the mechanisms involved in the target's inhibition of human …

Ion channels and ion exchangers are known to be important participants in various aspects
of sperm physiology, eg motility activation, chemotaxis, the maintenance of motility and the …

In this study, we defined the composition of the culture medium that yield a significant
percentage of alive and functional equine spermatozoa during enough time before artificial …

Introduction Mammalian sperm motility is facilitated by flagellar beating, which depends on
active ion movement through ion channels and their regulation. Prunus japonica Thunb …

In order to accomplish their primary goal, mammalian spermatozoa must undergo a series of
physiological, biochemical, and functional changes crucial for the acquisition of fertilization …

Abstract Semenogelin I and II (Sgs) are the major component of human semen coagulum.
The protein is rapidly cleaved after ejaculation by a prostate‐specific antigen, resulting in …

Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is mainly located in the mitochondrial outer
membrane and participates in many biological processes. In mammals, three VDAC …

Sperm ion channels play a key role in animal fertility. For successful fertilization, sperm
motility, chemotaxis, capacitation and the acrosome reaction are few of the important …

Mammalian sperm motility has to be hyperactivated to be fertilization-competent.
Hyperactivation is regulated by extracellular environment. Osmolality of mammalian semen …

In human sperm, removal of external calcium produces a fast Na+‐dependent
depolarization that is presumably due to sodium permeation through calcium channels …
