This study provides the first evidence that E(2) and environmental estrogens can significantly stimulate mammalian sperm capacitation, acrosome reactions and fertilizing ability, with the environmental estrogen being much more potent than E( 2).

The rapid effects of estrogens arising between seconds to few minutes from stimulation, have been described in different cellular models and such rapid nongenomic effects are initiated at the plasma membrane, but the nature and characteristics of the receptor(s) involved is still a matter of debate.

Using the scale in vitro assay system, it is found that osteoclastic activity accelerated by the estrogen was suppressed by CT, implying that CT protects the scales from excess degradation of calcium at the time of teleost vitellogenesis.
Bisphenol-A Affects Male Fertility via Fertility-related Proteins in Spermatozoa
- BiologyScientific reports
- 2015
BPA-induced changes in fertility-related protein levels in spermatozoa may be provided a potential cue of BPA-mediated disease conditions and suggest that high concentrations of B PA alter sperm function, fertilization, and embryonic development via regulation and/or phosphorylation of fertility- related proteins in spermutozoa.

The results demonstrate that 17betaE2 induces a rapid and sustained increase of intracellular calcium concentrations ([Ca2+]i), and this effect is totally dependent on the presence of extracellular calcium, because it is completely abolished in a calcium-depleted medium.
