ABSTRACT
Background:
The glycoconjugate content of sperms indicates their physiological and fertility properties. Lectin reactivity is indicative of intact, capacitated, and acrosome-reacted sperms. In the epididymis, sperms experience maturation, glycoconjugate modification, and simultaneously, higher L-carnitine [LC] concentrations. The aim of this project was to evaluate the effects of LC and Pentoxifylline [PF] on the integrity, capacitation, and acrosomal reaction of sperms by studying their lectin reactivity
