Mammalian fertilization involves various steps in which the participation of specific enzymes has been demonstrated by numerous studies. Acrosin is one of the most widely acrosomal protease in mammalian spermatozoa studied, including bovine; however, other proteases have also been described. A new trypsin-like serine protease named bovine serine protease of 120 kDa (BSp120) and its pre-cursor B...
The effects of ingestion of protein deficient or protein supplemented diets with or without sodium fluoride (NaF, 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg body wt) were studied on sperm function in mice and compared with effects on mice fed a control (standard) protein diet + NaF in the above three dose levels for 30 days. Ingestion of the protein deficient diet together with the three dose levels of NaF caused a s...
A proacrosin conversion inhibitor present in boar spermatozoa has been purified and initially characterized. Purification methods included sequential acid extractions of washed spermatozoa at pH 4.0, pH 3.5, and pH 2.5 followed by successive gel filtrations of the pH 2.5 sperm extract supernatant over Sephadex G-75 and G-50. The resulting 8.8-fold purified materials were judged to be homogeneou...
Cysteamine (beta-mercaptoethylamine, or MEA) is a thiol-reducing agent and has anti-HIV activity. Because of these properties, cysteamine was evaluated as a vaginal contraceptive and tested for its effects on sperm function and on other sexually transmitted microbes. Cysteamine was contraceptive in the rabbit. Conception was inhibited completely when sperm were pretreated with 500 microg/ml cys...
In this experimental prospective study, we aimed to analyze the effect of transient scrotal hyperthermia on the male reproductive organs, from the perspective of sperm parameters, semen plasma biochemical markers, and oxidative stress, to evaluate whether different frequencies of heat exposure cause different degrees of damage to spermatogenesis. Two groups of volunteers (10 per group) received...
Azoospermia, characterized by the absence of spermatozoa in the ejaculate, is a common cause of male infertility with a poorly characterized etiology. Exome sequencing analysis of two azoospermic brothers allowed the identification of a homozygous splice mutation in SPINK2, encoding a serine protease inhibitor believed to target acrosin, the main sperm acrosomal protease. In accord with these f...
