Efecto descapacitante de proteínas oviductalesen espermatozoides de galloin vitro

In birds, the process of sperm maturation has not been fully described. The objective of this study was to determine in vitroparameters for the decapacitating effect of oviductalproteins on rooster spermatozoa. Aliquots with spermatozoon were incubated to in vitroinduce metabolic states: capacitation, decapacitation, and the acrosomal reaction to again determined percentages of live spermatozoa, motility, and concentrations of Malondialdehyde, reduced Glutathione and Adenosine triphosphate. The percentages of motility and live sperm in fresh and capacitated semen were similar (P>0.05), but higher (P
