✦ Synopsis

The glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) hyaluronic acid and heparin were added (10 pg and 100 pglml to golden hamster sperm suspensions previously incubated for 4.5 h under capacitating conditions. After additions, sperm were incubated for 5-15 min and acrosome reactions (AR) assayed in motile sperm by phase contrast microscopy. Hyaluronic acid and heparin significantly

## 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 μM) or 3–DZA (200 μM) inhibited acrosome reactions by approximately 30% after 4 hours of incubation with wash

This study describes investigations of the importance of intraacrosomal pH in the hamster sperm acrosome reaction (AR). Washed cauda epididymal sperm were capacitated in vitro in a medium containing 2 mM Ca2+, 144 mM Na+, and 3 mM K + . Such sperm underwent a significant increase in the number of AR

## 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
