Sphingomyelin Modulates Capacitation of Human Sperm In Vitro1

1 Oct 2000

Abstract excerpt

Ejaculated mammalian sperm must mature (capacitate) before they can undergo acrosomal exocytosis and fertilize an egg. Loss of sperm sterols is an early step in capacitation. Because sphingomyelin slows cholesterol efflux from other cells, the role of sphingomyelin in capacitation was tested. Human sperm were exposed to sphingomyelinase and then incubated for as long as 24 h. The ability of sperm to...
