Objective:To relate semen susceptibility in cooling protocols to sperm plasma membrane properties.Methods:A series of experiments was performed using the fluorescent markers, progesterone-BSA-FITC andBSA-FITC.Results:These experiments indicated that both progesterone-BSA-FITC andBSA-FITC bound to specific sperm plasma membrane domains, thus producing four different binding patts, revealing probable changes in membrane organization during capacitation and during cooling.Those patts seem to make a sequence progressing from non-capacitated status to capacitated status.The proportion of each patt was different during incubation than during cooling, showing the latter had a higher proportion of dead sperm than the former.Conclusions:At this stage, the association of sperm plasma membrane alterations was revealed byBSA-FITC probes and cryosensitivity remains unclear.
