We analyzed the expression of hexose transporters in human testis and in human, rat, and bull spermatozoa and studied the uptake of hexoses and vitamin C in bull spermatozoa. Immunocytochemical and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses demonstrated that adult human testis expresse

## Abstract Acrosin was detected by immunofluorescence in the spermatozoan acrosomes of artiodactyla (bull, ram and boar), perissodactyla (horse), carnivora (dog and cat), lagomorpha (rabbit) and primates (human) using antiβbovine acrosin immunoglobulins. The results indicate that the acrosin molec
A high (HAHT) and a low (LAHT) affinity hexose transport system are present in undifferentiated rat L6 myoblasts; however, only the latter can be detected in multinucleated myotubes. This suggests that HAHT is either down-regulated or modified as a result of myogenesis. The present investigation exa
## Abstract Actin has been characterized and localized in sperm cells of many mammals. Nevertheless, the reported localizations obtained by different methods and/or antibodies varied from species to species and even for the same species. To clarify the question, sperm actin distribution was reinves
Morphological assessment of spermatozoa has a long history and it is generally accepted that specific morphologic structural deviations correlate with male sub-and infertility. Although many different and also new methods are used in semen analysis, light microscopy is still used for routine morphol
