Summary. Heterogeneous populations of developing mouse spermatozoa were isolated from the seminiferous tubules and suspended in media of varied ionic composition. Tracer-flux analysis showed that PNa/PK in developing spermatozoa is 0·7 which is relatively high and that permeability of the cells to potassium and sodium is dependent on the ionic concentration of the medium.

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.
