Mammalian sperm, the only cells that achieve their purpose outside their organism of origin,
have to swim vigorously within the female reproductive tract to reach an oocyte. Flagellar …

Bioenergetics plays a crucial role in sperm functions, including motility, capacitation‐related
protein modifications, oocyte recognition and interaction, all of which are essential for …

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) represent widely expressed and evolutionarily
conserved proteins crucial for governing signaling pathways and playing essential roles in …

In mammals, sperm acquire fertilization ability after a series of physiological and
biochemical changes, collectively known as capacitation, that occur inside the female …

The viscoelastic properties of the female reproductive tract influence sperm swimming
behavior, but the exact role of these rheological changes in regulating sperm energetics …

Background The analysis of chromatin integrity has become an important determinant of
sperm quality. In frozen-thawed bovine sperm, neither the sequence of post-thaw injury …

Background Exposure of humans and animals to heavy metals is increasing day-by-day;
thus, lead even today remains of significant public health concern. According to CDC, blood …

The acquisition of fertilizing ability by mammalian spermatozoa, known as “capacitation,”
includes processes that depend on particular metabolic pathways. This has led to the …

Background Recently, the metabolic pathways involved in energy production and the role of
aquaglyceroporins in capacitation‐associated events have been studied in humans and …

During epididymal transit, redox remodeling protects mammalian spermatozoa, preparing
them for survival in the subsequent journey to fertilization. However, molecular mechanisms …
