Effect of osteopontin on buffalo sperm capacitation.

, 2010
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of osteopontin (OPN) to induce capacitation of buffalo spermatozoa in vitro. Capacitation was assessed by the ability of sperm to undergo the acrosome reaction (AR) after incubation with ...

Seminal plasma proteins inhibit in vitro- and cooling-induced capacitation in boar spermatozoa

, 2010
Dilute boar seminal plasma (SP) has been shown to inhibit in vitro capacitation and cooling-induced capacitation-like changes in boar spermatozoa, as assessed by the ability of the spermatozoa to undergo an ionophore-induced acrosome reaction.

Perceptual accuracy, policy congruence and electoral success of candidates

Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent research has documented that politicians are not good at estimating citizens' policy preferences, though their ability to do so varies across parties and individuals. The postulated link between this low perceptual accuracy and substantive representation has rarely been explored empirically.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Superoxide Dismutase Participation in Sperm Capacitation

Maturation of the spermatozoa in the female genital tract involves two crucial reactions that confer the sperm the ability to interact and fuse with the oocyte: capacitation and acrosome reaction.

The CatSper channel modulates boar sperm motility during capacitation.

, 2017
The cation channel of sperm (CatSper) comprises four transmembrane subunits specifically expressed in human, equine, murine and ovine spermatozoa, apparently implicated in capacitation, hyperactivation and acrosome exocytosis.

TMEM16A chloride channels in the female reproductive tract and their role in normal and dysfunctional pregnancy and labour

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

In vitro assessment of reproductive toxicity of cigarette smoke and deleterious consequences of maternal exposure to its constituents

Biological Research, 2012
Cigarette smoke is known to be a serious health risk factor and considered reproductively toxic. In the current study, we investigated whether constituents of cigarette smoke, pyrazine, 2-ethylpyridine, and 3-ethylpyridine, adversely affect reproductive ...
