Nongenomic effects of progesterone on spermatozoa: mechanisms of signal transduction and clinical implications

E Baldi, M Luconi, L Bonaccorsi… - Pediatric Pathology & …, 1998 - Taylor & Francis
Progesterone (P) is one of the physiological stimuli of human sperm acrosome reaction. It is
present in high levels at the site of fertilization (cumulus oophorus) and has been described …

Bovine follicular fluid derived extracellular vesicles modulate the viability, capacitation and acrosome reaction of bull spermatozoa

MM Hasan, QUA Reshi, F Lättekivi, J Viil… - Biology, 2021 - mdpi.com
Simple Summary Before the union of an egg and spermatozoon, several vital processes
occur for fertilization in the female reproductive system. One of these processes is the …

Andrology: Two functional assays of sperm responsiveness to progesterone and their predictive values in in-vitro fertilization

C Krausz, L Bonaccorsi, P Maggio, M Luconi… - Human …, 1996 - academic.oup.com
We have recently reported, in a small cohort of subjects, that acrosome reaction (AR) and
intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+] i) increase in response to progesterone were significantly …

Bicarbonate/CO2 is not Required for Zona Pellucida- or Progesterone-Induced Acrosomal Exocytosis of Mouse Spermatozoa but is Essential for Capacitation

QX Shi, ERS Roldan - Biology of Reproduction, 1995 - academic.oup.com
We investigated whether bicarbonate/CO2 is required for capacitation or for acrosomal
exocytosis triggered with zona pellucida or progesterone. Mouse spermatozoa, incubated …

Elevated and sustained intracellular calcium signalling is necessary for efficacious induction of the human sperm acrosome reaction

P Prajapati, S Kane, RC McBrinn, MS Dean… - International Journal of …, 2022 - mdpi.com
Progesterone and prostaglandin E1 are postulated to trigger the human sperm acrosome
reaction (AR). However, their reported efficacy is very variable which likely, in part, reflects …

Chlamydia trachomatis infection in male partners of infertile couples: incidence and sperm function

P Vigil, P Morales, A Tapia, R Riquelme… - Andrologia, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Chlamydia trachomatis infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases.
Its effect on male fertility, however, is still controversial. In this study, 284 male partners of …

Follicular fluid proteins stimulate nitric oxide (NO) synthesis in human sperm: a possible role for NO in acrosomal reaction

A Revelli, G Soldati, C Costamagna… - Journal of cellular …, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical involved in the regulation of several functions of the male
genitourinary system. It is produced by neurons and the endothelium and epithelia of …

The effect of RANTES on human sperm chemotaxis

T Isobe, H Minoura, K Tanaka, T Shibahara… - Human …, 2002 - academic.oup.com
BACKGROUND: Follicular fluid (FF) is a powerful stimulator of human sperm hyperactivation
and the acrosome reaction. FF causes sperm accumulation by way of chemotaxis. The …

Calcium ionophore-induced acrosome reaction correlates with fertilization rates in vitro in patients with teratozoospermic semen.

DY Liu, HW Baker - Human reproduction (Oxford, England), 1998 - academic.oup.com
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between calcium ionophore A23187-
