Abstract: ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY RELEVANCE In traditional Mexican medicine Echeveria gibbiflora DC has been used as a vaginal post coital rinse to prevent pregnancy. The aqueous crude extract (OBACE) induced sperm immobilization/agglutination and a hypotonic-like effect, likely attributed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.reprotox.2020.02.013
Abstract: The endogenous opioid peptides have been reported to be involved in the regulation of reproductive physiology. Many of the studies conclude with sentences around the harmful effect of opioids in male fertility but, actually, there… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/19768354.2025.2548936
Abstract: ABSTRACT Mammalian spermatozoa acquire fertilizing ability in response to environmental factors enriched in the female reproductive tract, a process called capacitation. During capacitation, sperm undergo physiological changes that are accompanied by functional regulation of sperm… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolre/ioac136
Abstract: Abstract G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), a seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor, mediates the rapid pre-genomic signaling actions of estrogen and derivatives thereof. The expression of GPER is extensive in mammal male reproductive system. However, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1530/rep-21-0195
Abstract: Sperm capacitation in mammals is a fundamental requirement to acquire their fertilizing capacity. Little is known about the action mechanism of the molecules that prevent capacitation from occurring prematurely. These molecules are known as decapacitation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1530/rep-24-0486
Abstract: In brief Catsper is an essential calcium channel for sperm capacitation; however, its role in acrosomal exocytosis has not been fully elucidated. This study shows that the lack of Catsper channels in mouse sperm alters… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2020.572735
Abstract: Mammalian oocytes are enveloped by the zona pellucida (ZP), an extracellular matrix of glycoproteins. In sperm, stimulation with ZP proteins evokes a rapid Ca2+ influx via the sperm-specific, pH-sensitive Ca2+ channel CatSper. However, the physiological… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.62524
Abstract: We demonstrate a technique for investigating the energetics of flagella or cilia. We record the planar beating of tethered mouse sperm at high resolution. Beating waveforms are reconstructed using proper orthogonal decomposition of the centerline… read more here.
