Hyperactivated Motion Patterns of Rabbit Sperm Cells
Abstract
Sperm cells from some rabbits develop a high speed random non- progressive motion characterized by wide bending and whip lashing of the tail, known as hyperactivated motility, when incubated for longer than 12 hr in a defined medium (DM). Three types of hyperactivated motions with different motility parameters were identified. As hyperactivated motility is a requirement for fertilization, the ability to recognize and measure the types of hyperactivated cells before and after exposure to chemicals may be a means to screen and assess chemicals for their reproductive effects
