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 A protein complex containing IGFβI, purified from rabbit seminal plasma, was used to investigate its effects on the capacitation and acrosome reaction of rabbit spermatozoa. Uncapacitated sperm (Pattern F), capacitated sperm (Pattern B), and acrosomeβreacted sperm (Pattern AR) were dete
## Abstract ABSTRACT The mammalian sperm acrosome reaction (AR) is a fusion and fenestration of sperm head membranes which is essential for fertilization. Our earlier work demonstrated that arachidonic acid could stimulate the AR 15 min after addition to hamster sperm capacitated by incubation for
