Background and Objective: Regulation of intracellular Ca 2+ concentrations are very important in control of sperm motility and acrosome reaction. It was shown previously that low-power lasers in the visible and near-infrared range alter Ca 2+ uptake by sperm cells. In the present work the effect of
The effect of light on calcium transport in mammalian sperm mitochondria and plasma membrane was studied. Digitonine-treated spermatozoa and plasma membrane vesicles were irradiated with an HeNe laser at various powers and energy doses and Ca2+ uptake was measured by the filtration method. It was fo
