Sperm capacitation in humans is transient and correlates with chemotactic responsiveness to follicular factors.

21 Nov 1995

Abstract excerpt

In humans, only a small fraction (2-12%) of a sperm population can respond by chemoattraction to follicular factors. This recent finding led to the hypothesis that chemotaxis provides a mechanism for selective recruitment of functionally mature spermatozoa (i.e., of capacitated spermatozoa, which possess the potential to undergo the acrosome reaction and fertilize the egg). This study aimed to examine this...
