Porcine in vitro production (IVP) systems, including in vitro maturation (IVM) and in vitro
fertilization (IVF) of oocytes and their subsequent in vitro culture (IVC), have been modified …

Contents Fertilization and early embryo development relies on a complex interplay between
the Fallopian tube and the gametes before and after fertilization. Thereby the oviduct, as a …

In the present study, the effects of seminal plasma (SP), cumulus–oocyte‐complexes (COCs)
conditioned medium (CCM) and hyaluronan (HA) on functional changes and in vitro …

The role of boar seminal plasma proteins attached to the sperm plasma membrane during
ejaculation has been studied in saccharide-mediated events in the female reproductive tract …

Binding properties of a group of proteins isolated from boar seminal plasma and their role in
the fertilization process are discussed. Boar seminal plasma contains different types of …

In the pig, a temporal relationship is suggested between sperm release from the sperm
reservoir (SR) and ovulation, but the mechanism (s) is still under discussion. In two …

Spermadhesins, proteins secreted by the boar sexual accessory glands, are believed to play
an important role in sperm capacitation and primary contact of sperm and egg. We have …

Mammalian seminal plasma contains among others, proteins called spermadhesins, which
are the major proteins of boar and stallion seminal plasma. These proteins appear to be …

During the passage through the epididymis, testicular spermatozoa are directly exposed to
epididymal fluid and undergo maturation. Proteins and glycoproteins of epididymal fluid may …

We performed the first genome-wide expression analysis to compare the differences in gene
expression in the female sperm reservoir of the duck reproductive tract between two groups …
