A role for tachykinins in the regulation of human sperm motility

16 Apr 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Tachykinins and tachykinin receptors are widely distributed in the male reproductive tract and appear to be involved in reproduction. However, the function and expression of tachykinins and their receptors in human spermatozoa remain poorly studied. We analysed the effects of tachykinins on sperm motility and characterized the population of tachykinin receptors in human spermatozoa. METHODS AND...
