TLDR
The role of seminal plasma proteins on various walks of fertilization process and thus, the possible exploitation of seminal Plasma proteins for understanding the etiology of male related infertility issues are reviewed.Abstract:
Seminal plasma proteins contributed by secretions of accessory glands plays a copious role in fertilization. Their role is overlooked for decades and even now, as Artificial Reproduction Techniques (ART) excludes the plasma components in the procedures. Recent evidences suggest the importance of these proteins starting from imparting fertility status to men, fertilization and till successful implantation of the conceptus in the female uterus. Seminal plasma is rich in diverse proteins, but a major part of the seminal plasma is constituted by very lesser number of proteins. This makes isolation and further research on non abundant protein a tough task. With the advent of much advanced proteomic techniques and bio informatics tools, studying the protein component of seminal plasma has become easy and promising. This review is focused on the role of seminal plasma proteins on various walks of fertilization process and thus, the possible exploitation of seminal plasma proteins for understanding the etiology of male related infertility issues. In addition, a compilation of seminal plasma proteins and their functions has been done.read more

TL;DR: Semenogelin is a Zn ions binding protein, and Zn ion act as a cofactor that helps in the proper motility of sperm cells, transporting the sperm safely in the immune rich female reproductive tract until the sperm cells reach the egg intact as mentioned in this paper .

Period of Boar Ejaculate Collection Contributes to the Yearly Intra-Male Variability of Seminal Plasma Cytokines.
Lorena Padilla,Xiomara Lucas,Inmaculada Parrilla,Cristina Perez-Patiño,Heriberto Rodriguez-Martinez,Jordi Roca,Isabel Barranco +6 more
TL;DR: The period of the year during which ejaculates were collected helps explain the intra-male variability of SP-cytokine levels in breeding boars, and no strong relationship was found between annual fluctuations in SP- Cytokines levels and semen parameters.

A comparative proteomic study of high and low semen quality seminal plasma in drakes
Bincheng Tang,Guangjuan Xie,Xinyue Hu,Xin Zhang,Shenqiang Hu,Jiwei Hu,Bo Hu,Liang Li,Jing Wang +8 more
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors identified seminal plasma proteins associated with semen quality by comparing the seminal plasma proteomic profile of drakes with high quality semen (HQS) and low-quality semen (LQS) using a label-free MS-based method.

Observations on the penetration of the sperm in the mammalian egg.
TL;DR: It is considered that the evidence so far put forward for the fertilization in vitro of mammalian eggs is inconclusive, and attempts made to effect the fertilizing of the mammalian egg in vitro are terminated.

TL;DR: There is a dynamic interplay between pro- and anti-oxidant substances in human ejaculate and a threshold for ROS levels that may induce functional sperm ability or may lead to male infertility is unsolved.
