Astaxanthin Improves Human Sperm Capacitation by Inducing Lyn Displacement and Activation

25 Aug 2015

Abstract excerpt

Astaxanthin (Asta), a photo-protective red pigment of the carotenoid family, is known for its multiple beneficial properties. In this study, the effects of Asta on isolated human sperm were evaluated. Capacitation involves a series of transformations to let sperm acquire the correct features for potential oocyte fertilization, including the generation of a controlled amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS),...
