## Abstract Phospholipase A~2~ and lysophospholipids have been implicated in the mammalian sperm acrosome reaction. In this study we further investigated the role of this enzyme and lysophospholipids on the acrosome reaction of hamster spermatozoa. Hamster epididymal spermatozoa were incubated unde

## Abstract Hamster sperm incubated in vitro were used to determine: (1) when hyaluronidase is released from sperm undergoing acrosome detachment, i.e., either a degenerative or normal acrosome reaction, and (2) what ultrastructural changes occur in the acrosomes of living sperm during hyaluronidas
## Abstract There have been conflicting reports concerning the involvement of cyclic nucleotides in sperm capacitation. We have examined the effects of micromolar concentrations of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (Bt~2~cAMP) and of the phosphodiesterase inhibitors SQ20009 and ICI63,197 on hamster sperm incuba
## Abstract Two inhibitors of somatic cell transmethylation, homocysteine thiolactone (Hcy) and 3βdeazadenosine (3βDZA), inhibited the acrosome reactions of hamster sperm in vitro. Hcy (250 ΞΌM) or 3βDZA (200 ΞΌM) inhibited acrosome reactions by approximately 30% after 4 hours of incubation with wash
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
