TL;DR: It is reported that AEA is present in human seminal plasma, mid‐cycle oviductal fluid, and follicular fluid analyzed by high‐performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, and imply that smoking of marijuana could impact these processes.

TL;DR: Pentoxifylline stimulates sperm functions that are essential to achieving fertilization under in vitro conditions in sperm obtained from fertile men, suggesting a causal relation and the involvement of a modulatory effect after cyclic adenosine monophosphate-dependent phosphorylation of intermediate proteins.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that tyrosine phosphorylation of sperm tail proteins is an integral signaling pathway modulating some but not all of the motion characteristics associated with cAMP- and caffeine-stimulated HA in cynomolgus monkey spermatozoa.

TL;DR: These experiments show that H2O2 directly affects sperm functions crucial to fertilization in a dose-and time-dependent fashion and is probably dependent on modifications of plasma membrane and intraceliular homeostasis by the oxidative process.

TL;DR: Sperm morphology and hyperactivated motility showed a high correlation with the capacity of sperm to achieve tight binding to the ZP, providing additional support for the use of this functional bioassay in the decision-making process within the assisted reproduction setting.
