1 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
In mammals, ejaculated sperm acquire their fertilizing ability during migration through the female reproductive tract, which secretes several factors that contribute to sperm capacitation. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a well-known neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, but additionally enhances the sperm acrosome reaction in the rat and cow. However, the detailed effects of GABA concentration on...
