Fate of the Sperm Mitochondria, and the Incorporation, Conversion, and Disassembly of the Sperm Tail Structures during Bovine Fertilization1
1 Dec 1996
Abstract excerpt
Sperm incorporation and the conversion of the sperm-derived components into zygotic structures during in vitro fertilization of bovine oocytes was explored by combining ultrastructural studies with observations of the fertilizing sperm tagged with a mitochondrion-specific vital dye MitoTracker green FM. The zygotes fertilized by the MitoTracker-labeled sperm were fixed at various times after fertilization and...
