Understanding sperm motility mechanisms and the implication of sperm surface molecules in promoting motility

open access: yesMiddle East Fertility Society Journal, 2022
Background It is estimated that approximately 8–12% of couples globally face problems associated with infertility. A large number of men exhibit suboptimal sperm parameters.

Gene Expression and Protein Synthesis in Mitochondria Enhance the Duration of High-Speed Linear Motility in Boar Sperm

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2019
Sperm motility patterns are continuously changed after ejaculation to fertilization in the female tract. Hyperactivated motility is induced with high glucose medium in vitro or the oviduct fluids in vivo, whereas sperm maintain linear motility in the ...

Evidence for Rapid Oxidative Phosphorylation and Lactate Fermentation in Motile Human Sperm by Hyperpolarized 13C Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Poor sperm motility is a common cause of male infertility for which there are no empirical therapies. Sperm motility is powered by adenosine triphosphate but the relative importance of lactate fermentation and Oxidative Phosphorylation (OxPhos) is ...

Rheotaxis-based separation of sperm with progressive motility using a microfluidic corral system [PDF]

open access: bronzeProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance The separation of motile sperm from semen samples is required for medical infertility treatments and clinical studies. Conventional methods are time- and labor-intensive and could be potentially hazardous to morphology and paternal content ...

Elevated Lipid Concentrations in Seminal Plasma Can Reduce Sperm Motility in Simmental Bulls [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals
Sperm motility is a key factor influencing male fertility and is associated with metabolic and lipid profiles across species. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sperm motility and the seminal plasma lipid profile in ...

Association of heat shock protein 70 with motility of frozen-thawed sperm in bulls

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2015
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is considered as a gene which affects semen quality traits. The present study attempted to investigate the relationship between the HSP70 expression level and motility of bull sperm during the process of freezing-thawing ...

PRESERVATION OF GARUT RAMS SPERMATOZOON AS A SOURCE OF MALE GERM PLASM [PDF]

open access: yesBiotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology, 2004
This study was conducted to examine the quality of ejaculated sperm by Garut rams to be used for artificial insemination (AI) and viability of sperm that were collected from preserved cauda epididymis (4°C up to 12 days) for assisted reproductive ...

Association of Oxidative Stress and Energy Metabolism with Sperm Quality in Chinese Male Adults [PDF]

open access: yesZhongguo quanke yixue, 2023
Background Oxidative stress and energy metabolism are important factors that affect sperm quality in male individuals. However, the majority of available studies are based on animal models, and evidence from human studies is still inadequate.

Energy metabolism in mammalian sperm motility.

open access: yesWIREs Mechanisms of Disease, 2022
Mammalian sperm, the only cells that achieve their purpose outside their organism of origin, have to swim vigorously within the female reproductive tract to reach an oocyte.
