Abstract

The proteolytic action of boar sperm acrosin on its natural substrate, the zona pellucida, was investigated. Acrosin exhibited substrate specificity for the zona pellucida and differentially hydrolyzed the glycoprotein families composing the zona pellucida. In contrast to acrosin, trypsin was a less‐specific protease in terms of zona pellucida hydrolysis.

## Abstract The mycotoxin zearalenone (zen) impairs fertility in farm animals. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of zearalenone and its major metabolite (__α__‐zearalenol) on boar semen binding capacity, under __in vitro__ conditions. Extended boar semen was exposed to thre
