To the Editor: —In the Current Comment on "The Function of the Prostate" (The Journal, Feb. 17, 1917, p. 553), it is stated that "it has been noted that the spermatozoa are practically motionless while in the seminiferous tubules of the testis, but become actively motile in the vas deferens, or when mixed with prostatic secretion." The statement that

Proteasomes in human spermatozoa [PDF]
In the present study we describe the localization of proteasomes in human spermatozoa by means of immunolabelling with different monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies detected by confocal microscopy. Western blotting confirmed the specificity of the antibodies and has shown that proteasomes are present in spermatozoa and in seminal fluid. In spermatozoa

Molecular Biology of Spermatozoa [PDF]
The spermatozoon is a very special cell; it is generated in the male reproductive tract and has to travel to the female reproductive tract, of another individual, to fertilize an egg [...]

Spermatozoa: A Historical Perspective.
ABSTRACT: The 100,000th scientific article on the subject of spermatozoa was recently published. Numerous studies evaluated the characteristics of this important cell that led to tremendous discoveries. Since its first observation and description in 1677, many important characteristics have been described regarding this highly fascinating gamete.

Mitochondria in teleost spermatozoa
There is an extraordinary diversity of reproductive modes in teleost and this variability is related to the phylogenetic relationships and adaption to very different biotopes. As in all vertebrates, sperm is produced as the end product of the process of spermatogenesis, and regarding teleost the spermatozoa lack an acrosome in almost all species and ...

The Senescence of Spermatozoa, II [PDF]
ABSTRACT In a recent paper (Gray, 1928 a) the progressive loss of activity of a suspension of Echinus sperm was considered from two points of view; firstly, as a process of spontaneous and irreversible depletion of available energy and secondly, as a process of auto-intoxication whereby the products of activity inhibit the essential ...

Motility of spermatozoa at surfaces [PDF]
The hydrodynamic basis for the accumulation of spermatozoa at surfaces has been investigated. The general conclusion is that when spermatozoa arrive at a surface, they will remain there if the vector of the time-averaged thrust is directed towards that surface. This can arise in two basic ways.
