Kinetics of the Progesterone-Induced Acrosome Reaction and Its Relation to Intracellular Calcium Responses in Individual Human Spermatozoa1
7 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Progesterone at 3 microM triggers a biphasic (transient and sustained) increase in intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) in human sperm, which is believed to be a prerequisite for progesterone-induced acrosome reaction (AR). As very little is known about how AR occurrence, latency, and completion relate to the characteristics of the progesterone-induced [Ca(2+)](i) signal, we examined these events using...
