Chromatin condensation in cat spermatozoa during epididymal transit as studied by aniline blue and acridine orange staining
27 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Chromatin stability and DNA-resistance to acidic denaturation was evaluated by acidic aniline blue and acridine orange staining of cat sperm from different regions of the epididymis. The results were related to conventional sperm parameters. The percentage of aniline blue-stained spermatozoa (persisting histones) decreased significantly from the caput to the cauda region (31.8% and 7.8%, respectively; P<0.0001)....
