Abstract
Spermatozoa undergo a series of modifications during their transit through the epididymis which lead to the acquisition of fertilizing capacity. The rat epididymis produces and secretes specific proteins (SEP) which interact with the maturing spermatozoa and might be involved in the maturation process.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
