Nitric oxide induces acrosome reaction in cryopreserved bovine spermatozoa

Summary The aim of this work was to study the effect of nitric oxide on acrosome reaction (AR) and the participation of protein kinases and reactive oxygen species in the AR of cryopreserved bovine spermatozoa. Spermatozoa were capacitated in Tyrode's albumin lactate pyruvate medium with hepari...
