Characterization of the calcium releasing activity of equine sperm extracts or equine sperm in murine and equine oocytes: Implications in the success of equine assisted reproductive technologies
At fertilization, the sperm induces a series of species-specific intracellular Ca2+ rises ([Ca2+]i) that are important for oocyte activation and embryonic development in all mammalian species studied to date. These have not been investigated in the horse, where in vitro assisted reproduction techniq...
