AMP-activated kinase AMPK is expressed in boar spermatozoa and regulates motility. [PDF]
The main functions of spermatozoa required for fertilization are dependent on the energy status and metabolism. AMP-activated kinase, AMPK, acts a sensor and regulator of cell metabolism. As AMPK studies have been focused on somatic cells, our aim was to

Species difference in the expression of Fas and Fas ligand in mature mammalian spermatozoa
Although it has been proposed that the Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) may protect ejaculated spermatozoa against apoptosis induced by lipoperoxidative damage and against lymphocytes present in the female genital tract, studies reported conflicting results on ...

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 ...

Expression of a catalytically inactive mutant form of glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4) confers a dominant-negative effect in male fertility. [PDF]
The selenoenzyme Gpx4 is essential for early embryogenesis and cell viability for its unique function to prevent phospholipid oxidation. Recently, the cytosolic form of Gpx4 was identified as an upstream regulator of a novel form of non-apoptotic cell ...

Oxidative phosphorylation versus glycolysis: what fuel do spermatozoa use?
Spermatozoa are highly specialized cells. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which provides the energy for supporting the key functions of the spermatozoa, is formed by 2 metabolic pathways, namely glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

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 ...
