Epididymosomes and Prostasomes: Their Roles in Posttesticular Maturation of the Sperm Cells

4 Mar 2003

Abstract excerpt

The occurrence of membrane vesicles along the male reproductive tract and in the ejaculated semen appears as a common feature among different species, including humans. Indeed, prostasomes (prostate-derived vesicles) were first described in human semen in 1978 (Ronquist et al, 1978), and vesicular structures similar to prostasomes were also found in the seminal plasma of rabbit (Davis, 1978), ram (Breitbart and...
