Sperm motility is linked to the activation of signaling pathways that trigger movement. These
pathways are mainly dependent on Ca2+, which acts as a secondary messenger. The …

To participate in sperm–oocyte fusion, spermatozoa need to be motile. In the testes,
spermatozoa are immotile, although these gametes acquire the capacity for motility during …

Motility is a key in spermatozoon function, determining semen quality and fertilizing capacity.
Motility in fish spermatozoa occurs when they are diluted in a swimming solution, the …

After ejaculation, sperm show a limited capacity for transcription and translation. In the
oviduct, most of the signalling in sperm is nongenomic and is mediated through membrane …

Human spermatozoan ion channels are specifically distributed in the spermatozoan
membrane, contribute to sperm motility, and are associated with male reproductive …

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 Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADESs) are being considered as a potential
alternative to traditional cryoprotective agents (CPAs) in sperm freezing. The study aimed to …

Acid extrusion and intracellular alkalisation are the key events during sperm capacitation
and these are mediated through proton gated channels (Hv1). Role of Hv1 in regulating …

After being historically considered as noxious agents, nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide
(H2S) are now listed as gasotransmitters, gaseous molecules that play a key role in a variety …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously produced signaling molecule that belongs to
the group of gasotransmitters along with nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). H2S …
