A molecular approach on sperm changes during epididymal maturation, ejaculation and in vitro capacitation of boar spermatozoa 

    Fàbrega Coll, Anna (Date of defense: 2012-07-20)

    Mammalian spermatozoa acquire functionality during epididymal maturation and ability to penetrate and fertilize the oocyte during capacitation. Sperm quality results indicated that both epididymal maturation and ejaculation ...

    Aquaporins in boar and bull spermatozoa: identification and functional implications 

    Prieto Martínez, Noelia (Date of defense: 2017-03-17)

    Aquaporins (AQPs) are proteins involved in the transport of water and some other solutes across plasma membranes. The fact that mammalian spermatozoa are highly permeable to water suggests the presence of these proteins. ...
