Summary.

Buffalo spermatozoa have been studied cytochemically and biochemically to investigate their phospholipids, which appear to be phosphatidyl choline, lysolecithin, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl inositol, phosphatidyl glycerol and monogalactosyl diglyceride. Most of them form lipoprotein complexes in the regions of the plasma membrane, the post-nuclear cap and the mid-piece. The lipid composition of buffalo spermatozoa has been compared to and contrasted with that of bull and ram spermatozoa and species differences are indicated.

Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.

The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
