Abstract
The neurotransmitter, 5-hydroxytriptamine (5-HT), is well known. Furthermore, it enhances the acrosome reaction, hyperactivation, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) success in hamsters and mice. In the present study, we examined whether 5-HT enhances hyperactivation and increases IVF success in rats. When rat sperm was exposed to 5-HT, hyperactivation was significantly enhanced. Only the 5-HT4 receptor agonists significantly enhanced hyperactivation. Additionally, both 5-HT and 5-HT4 receptor agonists significantly increase the success of IVF. These results suggested that 5-HT increases IVF success by enhancing hyperactivation and effects of 5-HT are associated with the 5-HT4 receptor. Therefore, in rats, 5-HT enhances capacitation and the 5-HT4 receptor is the key molecule for capacitation.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Reproduction and Development (JRD) is the
official journal of the Society for Reproduction and Development,
published bimonthly, and welcomes original articles. JRD
provides free full-text access of all the published articles on
the web. The functions of the journal are managed by Editorial
Board Members, such as the Editor-in-Chief, Co-Editor-inChief, Managing Editors and Editors. All manuscripts are
peer-reviewed critically by two or more reviewers. Acceptance
is based on scientific content and presentation of the materials.
The Editors select reviewers and correspond with authors. Final
decisions about acceptance or rejection of manuscripts are made
by the Editor-in-Chief and Co-Editor-in-Chief.
