Energy metabolic state in hypothermically stored boar spermatozoa using a revised protocol for efficient ATP extraction
Mammalian spermatozoa utilize ATP as the energy source for key functions on the route to fertilization. ATP and its precursor nucleotides ADP and AMP are regularly investigated in sperm physiology studies, mostly by bioluminescence assays. Assay results vary widely, mainly due to different efficienc...
