Bioprospecting snakehead fish protein concentrate (SFC) as a non non-serumserum-based albumin source for promoting capacitation in bovine sperm

Journal of the Indonesian Tropical Animal Agriculture
Capacitation is a prerequisite for successful fertilization with albumin as an inevitable component among the oviductal fluid's constituents. Under in vitroenvironments, albumin's function is replaced by serum-based products, which carry the issue of ...

Fluorescent analysis of boar sperm capacitation process in vitro

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2019
Background Capacitation involves physiological changes that spermatozoa must undergo in the female reproductive tract or in vitro to obtain the ability to bind, penetrate and fertilize the egg.

Molecular mechanisms of mammalian sperm capacitation, and its regulation by sodium‐dependent secondary active transporters

Reproductive Medicine and Biology
Background Mammalian spermatozoa have to be “capacitated” to be fertilization‐competent. Capacitation is a collective term for the physiological and biochemical changes in spermatozoa that occur within the female body.

Systematic mRNA interactome analysis reconceptualizes translational quiescence in bovine sperm

Communications Biology
Ejaculated 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 ...

Expression of cystatin C in the female reproductive tract and its effect on human sperm capacitation

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2018
Background Cystatin C (CST3), a cysteine protease inhibitor in seminal plasma, is expressed in animal uteri. However, its expression in the human female reproductive tract and its effect on human sperm capacitation are unclear.

Cordycepin improves hyperactivation and acrosome reaction through adenosine receptors during human sperm capacitation in vitro

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology
Background Sperm capacitation is a prerequisite for natural or in vitro fertilization. After capacitation, sperm become hyperactivated and undergo an acrosome reaction, which helps them penetrate the oocyte.

Zinc ion flux during mammalian sperm capacitation

Nature Communications, 2018
During sperm capacitation physiological changes occur that are required for fertilization. Here, the authors describe four sperm zinc signatures during invitro capacitation that are indicative of sperm quality and capacity to fertilize.

Heterogeneity in Fluorescence-Stained Sperm Membrane Patterns and Their Dynamic Changes Towards Fertilization in Mice

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Background: Sperm represent a heterogeneous population crucial for male reproductive success. Additionally, sperm undergo dynamic changes during maturation and capacitation.
