Effect of cholesterol and other sterols on human sperm acrosomal responsiveness

1 Oct 1996

Abstract excerpt

Human sperm become responsive to inducers of the acrosome reaction when they are washed free of seminal plasma and incubated in an appropriate medium. Previous work has shown that cholesterol-enriched medium prevents sperm from becoming responsive to the inducer, progesterone. Sperm that were incubated 24 hr in cholesterol-enriched medium and then treated with progesterone showed no evidence of membrane fusion,...
