## Abstract Decreased glycogen radioactivity was followed as an indicator of glycogen utilization following activation of __Strongylocentrotus purpuratus__ eggs. Within 15 minutes of exposure to sperm or ammonia, egg glycogen radioactivity decreased. The level of radioactivity in control (unfertili

## Abstract Both epididymal and ejaculated spermatozoa give usable rates of fertilization of superovulated oocytes in vitro. The epididymal sperm gave higher rates, but ejaculated sperm were preferred because intraβdonor variation was lower than interβdonor variation. A selected population of 14 ma
## Abstract Rat epididymal spermatozoa, at a concentration of 40β65 Γ 10^4^ cells/ml, were preincubated for 5β5.5 hr and then added to eggs from superovuβlated, immature rats. By 10β12 hr after insemination, 86% of the eggs had undergone fertilization, but many of them (41%) were polyspermic. When
## Abstract At fertilization, the vitelline envelope surrounding the egg of Xenopus laevis is modified by the addition of an electronβdense component termed the βF layer.β The F layer functions as a block to polyspermy and as a block to the escape of macromolecules from the perivitelline space, the
