Ultrastructural localization of angiotensin-converting enzyme in ejaculated human spermatozoa

1 Mar 1998

Abstract excerpt

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is known to be released from human spermatozoa during capacitation. However, it has not yet been localized ultrastructurally in ejaculated sperm cells. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to demonstrate the location of ACE by means of immunoelectron microscopy and direct immunofluorescence. In addition, ACE activity of spermatozoa was correlated with standard semen...
