Capacitation-like changes occur in mouse spermatozoa cooled to low temperatures
1 Mar 1997
Abstract excerpt
Previously we showed that >70% of mouse spermatozoa cooled slowly from 37 degrees C to 4 degrees C and warmed have undergone capacitation-like changes as examined by a chlortetracycline staining assay. These membrane changes are reflected in the ability of cooled spermatozoa to achieve fertilization rates in vitro similar to those of uncooled controls when added to oocytes immediately upon warming. The aim of...
