Abstract

When hamster spermatozoa were preincubated for 1–2 hr in Ca^2+^‐containing medium and then exposed to lysolecithin (LC), large proportions of the spermatozoa underwent acrosome reactions within 15 min. These acrosome‐reacted spermatozoa were capable of fertilizing eggs. The earliest visible sign of the reaction, wrinkling of the acrosomal cap, seen by 30 sec after exposure to LC. The reaction in many spermatozoa was completed within the next 30 sec.

It is well established that the zonae pellucidae of mature unfertilized eggs have the ability to induce the acrosome reaction of capacitated spermatozoa. To determine if this capacity of the zona is species-specific, hamster spermatozoa were allowed to attach to the zonae of homologous and heterolog

## Abstract Two inhibitors of somatic cell transmethylation, homocysteine thiolactone (Hcy) and 3–deazadenosine (3–DZA), inhibited the acrosome reactions of hamster sperm in vitro. Hcy (250 ΞΌM) or 3–DZA (200 ΞΌM) inhibited acrosome reactions by approximately 30% after 4 hours of incubation with wash
