Metabolism of amphibian spermatozoa in relation to their motility

Metabolism of amphibian spermatozoa in relation to their motility

Bufo arenarum spermatozoa were able to sustain motility both under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. In aerobiosis, the oxygen consumption varies between 2.6 and 4.2 microliter O2/10(8) cells/h at 30 degree C. The synthesis of lactic acid by anaerobic spermatozoa demonstrated the existence of an act...

Zusammenfassung:Bufo arenarum spermatozoa were able to sustain motility both under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. In aerobiosis, the oxygen consumption varies between 2.6 and 4.2 microliter O2/10(8) cells/h at 30 degree C. The synthesis of lactic acid by anaerobic spermatozoa demonstrated the existence of an active glycolytic pathway.
