Tyrosine Phosphorylation Events in Mouse Sperm Capacitation
, 2009 Mammalian sperm are not able to fertilize immediately upon ejaculation; they become fertilization-competent after undergoing changes in the female reproductive tract collectively termed capacitation.

Experimental data about Antioxidants inhibition during equine sperm capacitation
In vitro embryo production (IVP) is a highly demanded technique in the animal breeding industry. However, the conventional protocol based on in vitro fertilization (IVF) still shows low success rates in horses.

Hyperactivation of human sperm by 4-Aminopyridine: key role for mobilisation of stored Ca2+ in the sperm neck [PDF]
, 2010 Within the female reproductive tract mammalian sperm gradually develop hyperactivated motility, triggered by increased flagellar Ca2+ resulting in deep flagellar bends. Two sources of Ca2+ may contribute to the regulation of hyperactivation.

Effect of Osteopontin on Bovine Sperm Capacitation.
, 2007 We evaluated the effects of osteopontin (OPN) on bovine sperm capacitation in vitro. Frozen-thawed sperm from a bull previously tested for IVF were separated by Percoll and incubated in TALP medium without capacitating agents (control, N = 494) and in ...

Sperm competition and sperm length in shorebirds [PDF]
, 1999 We investigated how sperm morphology varies across 16 species of shorebirds in the Scolopacidae, Charadriidae, and Jacanidae. Sperm were significantly longer in nonmonogamous than in socially monogamous species.

cAMP -dependent protein tyrosine phosphorylation during bovine sperm capacitation
, 2000 Mammalian sperm capacitation, defined as an obligatory maturational process leading to the development of the fertilization-competent state, is regulated by a series of poorly understood molecular events. This study examines signaling pathways associated

Role of oxidative stress and antioxidants in domestic and non-domestic cat spermatozoa [PDF]
, 2010 Living cells, including spermatozoa, stored under aerobic conditions require oxygen to support their normal metabolism. Excessive levels of metabolites (reactive oxygen species; ROS) can cause cell damage or lipid peroxidation.
