Ejaculated human spermatozoa were subjected to nitrogen cavitation (600 psi for ten min) to remove the plasma membrane (PM). Electron microscopic examination of the cavitated cells revealed that 33% of the PM was removed from the sperm which includes both the head and tail regions. The released memb

โฆ Synopsis
An improved method for the isolation of pure plasma and acrosomal membranes from bull spermatozoa is presented. Plasma membranes were isolated from the spermatozoa of bulls of different breeds, and some enzymatic activity, such as (Na+-K+) ATPase, Ca++ ATPase, Mg++ ATPase, alkaline and acidic phosphatases were assayed. Such enzymatic activity levels differ noticeably from those published by other authors, whose preparations were probably contaminated by other cellular components. Highly statistically significant differences of these activities have been found among the several breeds.
