An article from a study led by our colleagues of the Aquaculture, Physiology and Reproduction group (UPV, Valencia) and carried out in collaboration with Dr. Paz Herráez, has been recently accepted by the Aquaculture journal (a prestigious journal in the field of aquaculture and fisheries). Here is the provisional reference:
V. Gallego, F. Martínez-Pastor, I. Mazzeo, D. S. Peñaranda, M. P. Herráez, J. F. Asturiano, L. Pérez. Intracellular changes in Ca2+, K+ and pH after sperm motility activation in European eel (Anguilla anguilla). 2013. Aquaculture.
In this study, the concentration of several cations in the eel spermatozoon were tested after diluting the cells in media prepared to maintain them quiescent or to activate the motility. The flow cytometry techniques were set up in the University of León during a stay of V. Gallego with Dr. Paz Herráez, and part of the experiments were carried out there.
