Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of the mammalian sperm plasma membrane in the process of fertilization.
TL;DR: Dynamics in adhesive and fusion properties, molecular composition and architecture of the sperm plasma membrane, as well as membrane derived signalling are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The capacitating agent bicarbonate induces protein kinase A-dependent changes in phospholipid transbilayer behavior in the sperm plasma membrane.
Barend M. Gadella,R.A. Harrison +1 more
TL;DR: The effect of bicarbonate, a key inducer of sperm capacitation in vitro, on the transbilayer behavior of C6NBD-phospholipids in the plasma membrane of living acrosome-intact boar spermatozoa under physiological conditions has important implications with respect to sperm fertilizing function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of in vitro capacitation of stallion spermatozoa.
TL;DR: It was found that merocyanine 540 detects capacitation-related changes much earlier than CTC does, and that flow cytometry for evaluation of capacitation and AR was a quicker and more accurate technique than fluorescence microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bicarbonate stimulated phospholipid scrambling induces cholesterol redistribution and enables cholesterol depletion in the sperm plasma membrane
Frits M. Flesch,Jos F. Brouwers,Patricia F. E. M. Nievelstein,Arie J. Verkleij,Lambert M.G. van Golde,Ben Colenbrander,Barend M. Gadella +6 more
TL;DR: A model is proposed in which phospholipid scrambling induces the formation of an apical membrane raft in the sperm head surface that enables albumin mediated efflux of cholesterol.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Triple-Stain Flow Cytometric Method to Assess Plasma- and Acrosome-Membrane Integrity of Cryopreserved Bovine Sperm Immediately after Thawing in Presence of Egg-Yolk Particles
TL;DR: The new triple-stain combination developed is highly repeatable and easy to use in routine application, and it provides a more precise estimate for the rate of sperm cells with intact head membrane and acrosome compared to the generally used and validated FITC-PNA/PI staining.
