I.
Proteolytic enzyme activity of mammalian spermatozoa. I am working mainly on
the behaviour of the enzymic systems
"plasminogen activator/plasmin" and "proacrosin/acrosin" in spermatozoa of various animal
species (bull, boar, ram, buck, stallion, rabbit) and man. II.
The involvement of the proteolytic enzymic system
"plasminogen activators/plasmin" in
tissue fibrinolysis in various pathophysiological
conditions. III.
Influence of various factors on sperm movement characteristics, capacitation, and acrosome
reaction IV.
Lipid peroxidation in sperm |
