Capacitation‐associated changes in membrane fluidity in asthenozoospermic human spermatozoa
9 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
The fertilizing potential of human spermatozoa relies on their ability to capacitate as they travel through the female reproductive tract. During this process, cholesterol is released from the plasma membrane, altering its architecture and dynamics. Using ISolate gradients, we obtained high (L90)- and low (L45)-quality spermatozoa from asthenozoospermic human semen samples. We tested the hypothesis that the lower...
