| Dr Lewis said the acrosome reaction involved the channelling of charged calcium atoms, or ions. |
|
| They found that cathine and norephedrine significantly stimulated capacitation in mouse sperm, while preventing the acrosome reaction. |
|
| The enzyme may be contained in the acrosome and released as a result of the acrosome reaction, during passage of the spermatozoon through the corona radiata. |
|
| After a spermatozoon comes in contact with an egg, the acrosome, which is a prominence at the anterior tip of the spermatozoa, undergoes a series of well-defined structural changes. |
|
| In teleosts, the only common aspect is the absence of an acrosome, which has been related to the presence of a micropyle in the egg. |
|
| The acrosome reaction of spermatozoa is a prerequisite for the association between a spermatozoon and an egg, which occurs through fusion of their plasma membranes. |
|
| In our experiments, cells appeared to be disrupted as they agglutinated, and this was likely due to an acrosome reaction. |
|
| A structure within the acrosome, called the acrosomal vesicle, bursts, and the plasma membrane surrounding the spermatozoon fuses at the acrosomal tip with the membrane surrounding the acrosomal vesicle to form an opening. |
|
| Spermatozoa morphology, motility, plasma membrane integrity, acrosome integrity and DNA integrity were evaluated immediately after spermatozoa extraction. |
|
| Acrosome biogenesis covers the transport and fusion of Golgi-derived proacrosomal vesicles to form an acrosome sac which is tightly bound to the nuclear envelope. |
