Time and Media-Dependent Modulation of Sperm Capacitation in Red-Rumped Agouti (Dasyprocta leporina Linnaeus, 1758). [PDF]
Mol Reprod DevABSTRACT The increasing focus on understanding spermatozoa mechanisms in rodents aims to enhance reproductive stability and support conservation efforts, particularly for ecologically significant and declining species like the red‐rumped agouti. We aimed to evaluate the interaction between capacitation media and time, testing BSA concentrations—low (4 ...
