The aim of this study, based on a prospective analysis, was to evaluate the accuracy of the TEST-yolk buffer enhanced hamster egg penetration test (HEPT) and acrosin activity in discriminating fertile from infertile males as compared with the conventional semen profile. The incidence of spontaneous pregnancies was monitored during a follow-up period ranging between 18-24 months in 62 couples wi...
Using homologous recombination, we have previously produced male mice carrying a disruptive mutation (Acr-/-) in the acrosin gene. Although Acr-/- mouse sperm lacking the acrosin protease activity still penetrated the zona pellucida and fertilized the egg, the mutant sperm exhibited a delay in penetration of the zona pellucida solely at the early stages after insemination. To further elucidate ...
BACKGROUND The continued endeavour to design novel, non-detergent molecules that can be useful as topical, prophylactic contraceptives has led to the discovery of substituted isoxazolecarbaldehydes as a new class of compounds exhibiting both spermicidal and acrosin inhibitory activities simultaneously. METHODS Normal human semen samples were used to detect the spermicidal and acrosin inhibito...
Evidence has accumulated suggesting multiple roles of acrosin in fertilization, including its participation in early steps of gamete recognition and binding. However, the implication of acrosin in many of these processes is not compatible with its presumptive sequestration within the sperm acrosome until a late phase of the acrosome reaction. In an earlier study (J. Tesarik, J. Drahorad, J. Pek...
Acrosin purified from an acidic extract of ejaculated goat spermatozoa migrated as a single 42,000-Mr band in SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Reduction and alkylation of caprine acrosin produced two polypeptides, one of Mr 40,000 (heavy chain) and the other of Mr 3700 (light chain). The light chain purified by reversed-phase h.p.l.c. was a glycosylated octadecapeptide with an amino acid...
background: use of cellular phones emitting radiofrequency electromagnetic field (rf-emf) has been increased exponentially and become a part of everyday life. this study aimed to investigate the effects of in vitro rf-emf exposure emitted from cellular phones on sperm motility index, sperm dna fragmentation and seminal clusterin (clu) gene expression. materials and methods: in this prospective ...

The development of cattle population in Indonesia has not reached in happy condition, even in east Java in the 2001 was decreasing population of some cattle, such as sheep 3,24 %, cow 5,86% and buffalo 5% whereas other cattle have increased far from our hope. (Anonymous, 2007). The obstacle which is faced in the cattle breeding field is involving reproduction field, the priority fertilization p...
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of age and reproductive season on selected properties of semen from the arctic fox, Aloper lagopus L. The experiment used 40 ejaculates collected manually from 6 animals (3 foxes aged one year and 3 foxes older than three years). Statistically less semen (0.39 cm3) was collected from the young compared to the older animals, and the ejacula...
BACKGROUND Failed fertilization post-ICSI has been mainly attributed to the sperm's inability to induce oocyte activation. Phospholipase C zeta (PLCζ) is considered to be one of the factors for the induction of oocyte activation. The aim of this study was to quantitatively assess the expression of PLCζ in globozoospermic men or those with previously low or failed fertilization in comparison wit...
