## Abstract Under certain conditions of cryopreservation, bull spermatozoa undergo an interesting structural alteration. The sperm tail becomes bent back on itself to form a hairpin shape. The bend in the tail occurs at a very precise point, 11 ΞΌm behind the neck, and it causes the tail to become k
Sperm motility in flatfishes shows unique characteristics. The flagellar movement either in vivo or in permeabilized models is arrested by the presence of 25-100 mM HCO3-, or by gentle perfusion with CO2 gas. To understand the molecular basis of this property, sperm Triton-soluble proteins and flage
