Progesterone Induces Hyperpolarization after a Transient Depolarization Phase in Human Spermatozoa1

Progesterone (P4) induces a membrane depolarization and various ion fluxes (chloride efflux, sodium and calcium influxes), which are required for the human sperm acrosome reaction (AR). By use of the potentiometric fluorescent dye DiSC3(5) and two different technical approaches, the present study ai...
