Abstract:Glycolitic metabolism under basal conditions and its modifications by the combined action of heparin and GSH were studied in human sperm. Respirometric data indicated that the amount of U. L. [14C]-glucose converted to 14CO2 increased with the incubation time, being almost linear for up to 60 min and then leveling off at 120 and 150 min (594 and 620 nmol of [14C]-glucose/10(8) spermatozoa, respectively). When spermatozoa were incubated in the presence of heparin-GSH such behavior completely changed, showing a … Show more
