Some steroids used in oral contraceptives were adsorbed significantly by magnesium trisilicate. The adsorption affinity followed the sequence: ethindrone greater than mestranol greater than norethindrone greater than ethinyl estradiol. Adsorption data obtained at relatively low initial concentration

## Abstract It is known that hamster sperm require an unidentified low molecular weight βfactorβ found in several cells and tissue types in order to remain strongly motile during in vitro capacitation. The Ξ²βamino acid taurine (2βaminoethane sulfonic acid) is present in a partially purified βfactor
