## Abstract The motility patterns of mouse spermatozoa before and after capacitation are described. The latter is very characteristic, with spermatozoa describing a figureβ8 pattern while remaining relatively stationary within a 3βdimensional space.

Guinea pig sperm respiration was determined in minimal capacitation medium (MCM) with different energy sources. The ZO2 observed for spermatozoa suspended in media containing pyruvate and lactate was 35.7 +/- 5.9, pyruvate alone, 27.9 +/- 3.8 and D-glucose alone 3.4 +/- 1.1. When D-glucose was added
Boar spermatozoa were incubated in a capacitation medium and examined for the presence of filamentous actin by using the fluorescent probe NBD-phallacidin. F-adin was not observed in uncapacitated sperm, but developed in most regions of the cell during the capacitation period. Fluorescent staining w
