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).

Influence of in vitro capacitation time on structural and functional human sperm parameters
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2020 A cascade of dramatic physiological events is linked to the sperm acrosome reaction and binding to the oocyte's zona pellucida during human sperm capacitation.

Redox regulation of mammalian sperm capacitation
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2015 Capacitation is a series of morphological and metabolic changes necessary for the spermatozoon to achieve fertilizing ability. One of the earlier happenings during mammalian sperm capacitation is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that will ...

Osteopontin enhances sperm capacitation and in vitro fertilization efficiency in boars
Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2022 In this study, we used more reliable experimental materials and methods to detect the effects of osteopontin (OPN) on boar sperm in vitro capacitation, acrosome reaction, and fertilization efficiency.

Capacitation promotes a shift in energy metabolism in murine sperm
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 In mammals, sperm acquire fertilization ability after a series of physiological and biochemical changes, collectively known as capacitation, that occur inside the female reproductive tract. In addition to other requirements, sperm bioenergetic metabolism

Seminal CD38 Enhances Human Sperm Capacitation through Its Interaction with CD31. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Human sperm have to undergo a maturational process called capacitation in the female reproductive tract. Capacitation confers upon the sperm an ability to gain hypermotility and undergo acrosome reaction.

Adhesion to oviduct glycans regulates porcine sperm Ca2+ influx and viability.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Before fertilization, sperm bind to epithelial cells of the oviduct isthmus to form a reservoir that regulates sperm viability and capacitation. The sperm reservoir maintains optimum fertility in species, like swine, in which semen deposition and ...

Specific lectin binding sites during in vitro capacitation and acrosome reaction in boar spermatozoa
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2021 Sperm glycocalyx and plasma membrane undergo outstanding modifications during fertilization. However, it is unclear how in vitro capacitation time and acrosome reaction affect the specific location of boar sperm glycoconjugates.
