## Abstract Previous studies have established that the mammalian sperm acrosome reaction (AR) is dependent upon an influx of extracellular Ca^2+^, but the involvement of a mobilizable store of intracellular Ca^2+^ has not been shown. In many other cells, the endoplasmic reticulum is the site of suc
## 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
