Effect of Capacitation on Bull Sperm Binding to Homologous Oviductal Epithelium1
1 Mar 1996
Abstract excerpt
Sperm binding to oviductal epithelium is thought to be an important mechanism regulating sperm reservoir formation in the oviduct. On the basis of evidence in the hamster, we hypothesized that capacitation affects release of bovine sperm, allowing them to fertilize. Oviducts were obtained from the ovulatory side of estrous Holstein heifers. The isthmic and ampullar epithelia were milked out and reduced to...
