Contribution of epididymal factors to sperm maturation and storage

24 Apr 2009

Abstract excerpt

In fertile men, the majority of epididymal spermatozoa acquire the potential to fertilize (assessed with sperm function assays) on passage into the corpus and cauda regions of the epididymis. Although secretions of the epididymal epithelium are clearly important for sperm maturation and survival, their role in this process has yet to be fully determined. Alterations in epididymal sperm membranes may result from...
