Abstract | The effects of ergothioneine on spermatozoa and ova were investigated in vitro and in vivo. Spermatozoa were treated with ergothioneine in vitro, and injected into the uterine cavity of female mice immediately after the induction of superovulation. The ova were recovered 24 hr later and assessed for fertilization. Preincubation of spermatozoa with ergothioneine resulted in a significant increase in the fertilization rate. When ova were inseminated in the same manner in vitro with spermatozoa treated with 0.1 or 1.0 mM of ergothioneine, the penetration rate was significantly increased. These results suggest that ergothioneine is effective in inducing both capacitation and the acrosome reaction of mouse spermatozoa. Ergothioneine at concentrations of 0.1 and 1.0 mM in the preincubation medium was also effective in inducing the acrosome reaction of guinea pig spermatozoa. However, it had no significant effect on the development of 2-cell ova in vitro. |
