Prostasomes: inhibitors of capacitation and modulators of cellular signalling in human sperm

1 Oct 2010

Abstract excerpt

Seminal fluid inhibits sperm capacitation mainly because of its high cholesterol content. Prostasomes are the main source of cholesterol in seminal fluid. They are known to have numerous protective properties and are able to transfer proteins and lipids to spermatozoa, but their impact on capacitation and acrosome reaction (AR) is not yet well understood. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of...
