Amino acids in ram testicular fluid and semen and their metabolism by spermatozoa.
1. The testis of the ram secretes considerable amounts of amino acids (200mumoles/day) into the fluid collected from the efferent ducts. The principal amino acid in this testicular fluid is glutamate, which is present in concentrations about eight times those in testicular lymph or in blood from the internal spermatic vein. 2. The concentration of glutamate in seminal plasma from the tail of th...
متن کاملLipid composition and metabolism in testicular and ejaculated ram spermatozoa.
1. Spermatozoa collected directly from the testis of the conscious ram contain 25% more phospholipid than ejaculated spermatozoa. The concentration of lecithin, phosphatidylethanolamine and ethanolamine plasmalogen was greater in testicular spermatozoa; little difference was observed in choline plasmalogen. Both types of spermatozoa had significant amounts of cardiolipin and alkyl ether phospho...

Epididymal semen was obtained from rams with a fistula present in the vas deferens (Tadmor & Schindler, 1966). It was deproteinized immediately, and the protein-free clear supernatant evaporated to dryness in vacuo at a temperature not exceeding 55\s=deg\C. The residue was taken up with about 10 ml water, and the solution thus obtained used for determination of both amines and amino acids. For ...
متن کاملPlasmalogen in ram semen, and its role in sperm metabolism.
Whole semen can be stored successfully under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, owing to the presence of glycolysable carbohydrate in the seminal plasma. However, if mammalian spermatozoa are separated from the seminal plasma by centrifuging and washing, they can maintain their motility only in the presence of oxygen. From this it has been inferred that when spermatozoa are deprived of fruc...
