Sperm motility is linked to the activation of signaling pathways that trigger movement. These
pathways are mainly dependent on Ca2+, which acts as a secondary messenger. The …

Alkalinization of sperm cytosol is essential for plasma membrane hyperpolarization,
hyperactivation of motility, and acrosomal exocytosis during sperm capacitation in mammals …

Sperm capacitation is a post-testicular maturation step endowing spermatozoa with
fertilizing capacity within the female reproductive tract, significant for fertility, reproductive …

Few data exist about the presence and physiological role of Na+/H+ exchangers (NHEs) in
the plasma membrane of mammalian sperm. In addition, the involvement of these channels …

To participate in sperm–oocyte fusion, spermatozoa need to be motile. In the testes,
spermatozoa are immotile, although these gametes acquire the capacity for motility during …

The objective of the present study was to determine the physiological role of voltage-gated
hydrogen channels 1 (HVCN1 channels) during in vitro capacitation of pig spermatozoa …

After ejaculation, sperm show a limited capacity for transcription and translation. In the
oviduct, most of the signalling in sperm is nongenomic and is mediated through membrane …

In order to accomplish their primary goal, mammalian spermatozoa must undergo a series of
physiological, biochemical, and functional changes crucial for the acquisition of fertilization …

In this paper, on the basis of the differences in the hydrogen ion concentration (pH) of the
diluent dairy goat semen on X/Y sperm motility, an X/Y sperm enrichment study was …

Dairy goats are the goats bred with the ability to produce large quantities of milk, and the
increase of the female kid rate of breeding dairy goats is beneficial for milk production and …
