Peroxiredoxin 4 Involved in Spermatogenesis by Affecting Oxidative Stress and Ferroptosis

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 7, Page 2329-2346, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The main functions of testes are sperm production and androgen secretion in testicular befitting microenvironment. Excessive level of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) from metabolism and cellular events can lead to oxidative stress (OS) and ferroptosis, which injure the functions of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of ...

Genistein\u27s Effect on Acrosome Reaction of Ram Sperm

open access: yes, 2011
Capacitation and acrosome reaction are important processes that sperm cells must undergo in the female reproductive tract in order for fertilization of the ova to occur. Genistein, a phytoestrogen, has been shown to inhibit protein tyrosine kinase (PTK)

Induction of the acrosome reaction in bull spermatozoa with plasmin

open access: yes, 2003
Proteolytic enzymes appear to have an essential role in multiple phases of mammalian fertilization. Plasmin, the active enzyme of the plasminogen activation system that stimulates fibrinolysis and proteolysis has a less well-documented role in ...

Induction of Acrosome Reaction by Calcium Ionophore A23187 in Sperm Separated by Two-layer Percoll Gradient Method

open access: yesSiriraj Medical Journal, 2003
The aim of this study was to compare thepercentages of sperm with an acrosome reaction between those with and without calcium ionophore A23187 induction after two-layer Percoll gradient separation.

Testicular Biopsies in Adolescent and Adult Andrological Patients: The EAA Clinical Guidelines

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 7, Page 1906-1928, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Histological evaluation of testicular tissue is central to the assessment of infertile men, particularly those at an increased risk of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT). Traditionally, testicular biopsies have been used primarily for diagnostic purposes, such as the detection of germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS). With advances in

Zona pellucida mediated acrosome reaction and sperm morphology

open access: yes, 1997
Sperm samples from 29 men randomly selected from the andrology laboratory, were used to evaluate acrosome reaction response to solubilized human zona pellucida. Capacitated sperm samples were exposed to a solution containing 2 zona pellucidae (ZP) per μl

Seminal Extracellular Vesicles as Molecular Modulators of Male Reproductive Function

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (sEVs) contained in seminal plasma (SP) maintain, in concert with free SP‐components (proteins, hormones, cytokines, metabolites and antioxidants) under an endocrine umbrella the functional in vivo homeostasis of ejaculated spermatozoa. The sEVs define a generic mixture of nanovesicles delivered by male epithelial cells,

Small and Large Seminal Extracellular Vesicles Differentially Modulate Capacitation‐Related Parameters in Frozen–Thawed Porcine Epididymal Spermatozoa

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Seminal extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have been proposed as modulators of sperm function, but their exact role remains unclear. Most studies use ejaculated sperm for clarification. This approach has limitations; nevertheless, as ejaculated sperm have already been exposed to their own native sEVs, which hinders the assessment of their specific ...

Acrosome Reaction in Sperm of the Frog, Xenopus laevis: Its Detection and Induction by Oviductal Pars Recta Secretion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Previous electron microscopic observations have shown that the acrosome of the sperm of the frog, Xenopus laevis, comprises a membrane-bounded vesicle covering the anterior-most position of the head.
