Introduction: Billions of sperm are used during porcine artificial insemination (AI) but only a few thousand are able to reach ampullary-isthmic junction of the oviduct to facilitate fertilization. One of the mechanisms which reduce this sperm population is the inflammatory reaction that takes place within the uterus following insemination. Prostaglandin J2, also known as 15-deoxy-Delta-12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) is a recently discovered...

Introduction: The sperm adhesion molecule 1 (SPAM1) is a glycoprotein present in the sperm membrane and it is involved in degradation of cumulus matrix and ZP binding. In the mouse, SPAM1 is secreted by the oviduct and the uterus and is acquired by the sperm during its transit through the genital tract. Our aim was to determine the presence of SPAM1 in the bovine oviduct.Materials and methods: Ovaries and oviducts were obtained from slaughterhouse cows a...
