A Possible Role for the Pentose Phosphate Pathway of Spermatozoa inGamete Fusion in the Mouse1
1 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
Glucose metabolism is essential for successful gamete fusion in the mouse. Although the metabolic activity of the oocyte does not appear to play a significant role in the fusion step, the metabolic role of the spermatozoon is not known. The aim of this study was therefore to characterize the role of glucose metabolism in mouse spermatozoa. Initially, the high-affinity glucose transporter GLUT3 was identified in...
