The objective of this study was to develop a relatively simple test to evaluate the functional integrity of the membranes of human spermatozoa. As in some other species, human spermatozoa 'swell'… Expand
Hesperidin, a bioflavonoid, is an abundant and inexpensive by-product of Citrus cultivation. A deficiency of this substance in the diet has been linked with abnormal capillary leakiness as well as… Expand
The hypoosmotic swelling (HOS) test is a relatively new assay used to evaluate the functional integrity of the sperm's plasma membrane. In fact, more studies have been published on the applicability… Expand
A model is presented that describes the mechanism of human sperm capacitation and the acrosome reaction. The processes of capacitation and the acrosome reaction are proposed to function in control of… Expand
Vaginal prophylactic methodology may prevent heterosexual transmission of the HIV and other sexually transmitted disease-causing organisms as well as unplanned pregnancies. A new delivery system… Expand
Atrial natriuretic peptides (ANPs) from several species induced the human acrosome reaction. The maximal response was highest for human ANP (18.6% above unstimulated or baseline values) and decreased… Expand
Abstract : A computerized model was developed for predicting thermal damage of skin by laser exposures. THERMAL, OPTICAL, AND PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA ARE PRESENTED FOR THE MODEL. Model predictions of… Expand
The acrosome reaction of spermatozoa appears to be analogous to various somatic cell exocytotic events which involve cascade reactions, i.e., transmission of an external signal across the cell… Expand
ABSTRACT Topical microbicides designed to prevent acquisition of sexually transmitted infections are urgently needed. Nonoxynol-9, the only commercially available spermicide, damages epithelium and… Expand
The concentrations of spermatozoa, fructose, IgG, IgA, albumin lactoferrin, transferrin, secretory piece of IgA, Beta 1C/Beta 1A-globulin (C'3-component of complement), ceruloplasmin and fibrinogen… Expand
