Sperm capacitation in bulls, rams, bucks, and boars: molecular mechanisms and species-specific differences [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceCapacitation is the process by which sperm undergoes physical, biochemical, and molecular changes to acquire the ability to fertilize an oocyte.

Redox Biology, 2021 To fertilize an oocyte, sperm must undergo several biochemical and functional changes known as capacitation. A key event in capacitation is calcium influx through the cation channel of sperm (CatSper).

A special perspective on human fertilization: The role of sperm capacitation proteins and channels: A narrative review [PDF]
International Journal of Reproductive BioMedicineSperm undergo a last step of maturation known as capacitation in the female reproductive system, which prepares themselves to fertilize the ovum. Mechanisms of capacitation include changes in membrane composition, electrolyte concentration, pH levels ...

Levels of Protein CoAlation Regulate Redox Signaling Events of Human Sperm Capacitation [PDF]
AntioxidantsInfertility is a global health problem, with male factors contributing to nearly half of all cases. Up to 30% of male infertility is classified as idiopathic, in part because routine semen analysis does not assess sperm fertilizing competence ...

Systematic mRNA interactome analysis reconceptualizes translational quiescence in bovine sperm [PDF]
Communications BiologyEjaculated mammalian sperm must undergo a series of biochemical changes called capacitation to gain fertilizing competence. Mounting evidence on protein synthesis during capacitation contradicts the widely accepted dogma of translational quiescence in ...

Development of an optimal protocol to induce capacitation of boar spermatozoa in vitro
Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2022 In 1951, Colin Russell Austin and Min Chueh Chang identified “capacitation”, a special process involving ejaculated spermatozoa in the female reproductive tract.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Cryopreservation induces capacitation-like (cryo-capacitation) changes, similar to natural capacitation, and affects the fertility potential of post-thawed sperm. The molecular mechanism of sperm cryo-capacitation during cryopreservation remains unknown.

New insights into posttranslational modifications of proteins during bull sperm capacitation
Cell Communication and Signaling, 2023 Background Due to the unique nature of spermatozoa, which are transcriptionally and translationally silent, the regulation of capacitation is based on the formation of posttranslational modifications of proteins (PTMs).

NADPH Oxidase 5 and Melatonin: Involvement in Ram Sperm Capacitation
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an essential role in mammalian sperm capacitation. NADPH oxidase 5 (NOX5) has been described as the main source of ROS production in some mammalian spermatozoa, such as human and equine. On the other hand, melatonin can
