Selection of highly fertilization-competent bovine spermatozoa through adhesion to the Fallopian tube epithelium in vitro
1 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian spermatozoa undergo a marked reduction in number during their journey through the female reproductive tract. One of the checkpoints in the selection of fertilizing spermatozoa may be the transient adhesion to the Fallopian tube epithelium, an event previously shown to play a key role in sperm storage.
