Ejaculated human spermatozoa were subjected to nitrogen cavitation (600 psi for ten min) to remove the plasma membrane (PM). Electron microscopic examination of the cavitated cells revealed that 33% of the PM was removed from the sperm which includes both the head and tail regions. The released memb
## Abstract Caspases are central components in the apoptosis signaling cascade. The family of cysteine proteases transduces and enhances the apoptosis signal, and activation of effector caspases results in controlled cellular degradation. Although initially the presence of caspases in spermatozoa w
