Role of Cholesterol in Sperm Capacitation1

1 Jul 1998

Abstract excerpt

Forty years ago, M.C. Chang found that exposing capacitated rabbit sperm to seminal plasma made them incapable of fertilizing eggs in vivo [1]. The results of this rather unphysiological experiment had a strong impact on the study of sperm capacitation, which Chang [2] and Austin [3] had discovered six years earlier. It was widely believed that understanding how seminal plasma reverses capacitation would shed...
