From: Capacitation and acrosome reaction differences of bovine, mouse and porcine spermatozoa in responsiveness to estrogenic compounds

Figure 4

Effects of 30 min of incubation with progesterone (P4) on capacitation status. (A) Change of sperm capacitation status of bovine spermatozoa in the absence or presence of P4 (0.001 to 100 μM). (B) Change of sperm capacitation status of mouse spermatozoa in the absence or presence of P4 (0.001 to 100 μM). (C) Change of sperm capacitation status of porcine spermatozoa in the absence or presence of P4 (0.001 to 100 μM). Capacitation status was distinguished F, B and AR pattern (Black Bar: F pattern, Grey Bar: B pattern, Dark-grey Bar: AR pattern). Data represent mean ± SEM, n =3. A, B, C Values with different superscripts were significantly different compared to control and the F pattern group, by ANOVA (P <0.05). a, b, c Values with different superscripts were significantly different compared to control and the B pattern group, by ANOVA (P <0.05). I, II Values with different superscripts were significantly different compared to control and the AR pattern group, by ANOVA (P <0.05).
