reproductive system
• loss of flexibility
|
• despite normal sperm morphology, acrosome reaction, and capacitation
|
• enhanced calcium response in tails, but not heads, that is mediated by altered Slo3 activity
|
• sperm exhibit reduced average path velocity, curvilinear velocity, straight-line velocity, straightness, and linearity compared with wild-type sperm
• however, incubation in low calcium conditions reduces abnormal motility
