In birds, the ejaculated spermatozoa do not directly pass to the site of fertilization but rather
are stored initially in specialized structures, referred to as sperm storage tubules (SSTs) …

Mammalian sperm bind to terminal carbohydrates associated with glycoconjugates on the
apical surface of oviduct epithelial cells in the caudal region of the oviduct and undergo …

Because of the presence of sperm storage tubules (SSTs) in the utero-vaginal junction (UVJ)
in the oviduct, once ejaculated sperm enter the female reproductive tract, they can survive …

The surface glycoconjugates of mammalian sperm cells have been shown to be critical
components of reproduction, including maintenance of the oviductal sperm reservoir and …

This paper reviews the studies devoted to the anatomical, histological and functional
aspects of sperm storage in the oviduct of domestic birds (hen, turkey). Despite the presence …

The capability for sperm storage in the female genital tract is frequently observed in
vertebrates as well as in invertebrates. Because of the presence of a system that maintains …

Sperm binding to oviductal epithelium would be involved in sperm reservoir formation in the
utero tubal junction (UTJ). Although in other mammals sperm–oviduct interaction has been …

The objective of this study was to examine the binding potential of sperm to the epithelium of
the sperm storage tubules (SST) in vitro and in vivo to assess the functional maturation of …

The turkey sperm glycocalyx is known to contain residues of sialic acid, α‐mannose/α‐
glucose, α‐and β‐galactose, α‐fucose, α‐and β‐N‐acetyl‐galactosamine, monomers and …

The ability to store sperm in the female genital tract is frequently observed in vertebrates as
well as in invertebrates. Because of the presence of a system that maintains the ejaculated …
