  • Title: The lipid content of epididymal spermatozoa of Rattus norvegicus.
    Author: Adams CS, Johnson AD.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol B; 1977; 58(4):409-11. PubMed ID: 318275.
    Abstract:
    1. Seven major lipids of rat spermatozoa from the caput, corpus and cauda epididymidis were separated and quantitated by TLC. 2. Spermatozoa from the caput epididymidis had a significantly greater (P less than 0.05) content of phospholipid, cholesterol, cholesterol ester and free fatty acid than those from the cauda epididymidis. 3. Spermatozoa from the corpus epididymidis had a significantly greater (P less than 0.05) content of monoglyceride than those from the caput epididymidis and a greater content of phospholipid, cholesterol, free fatty acids and monoglyceride than those from the cauda epididymidis.
