Low motility is one of the causes of male infertility. In this study, the effects of progesterone solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) on sperm capacitation, acrosome reaction, oxidative stress and expression of SPACA1 and MAPK way genes were investigated. Progesterone SLNs were synthesized using the solvent emulsification evaporation method. Twenty asthenozoospermia samples were selected, and sperm and acrosome membrane integrity, acrosome reaction, sperm motility, viability, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidative status tests and PKA, PTK, P38MAPK and SPACA1 gene expressions were assessed. The synthesized nanoparticles were prepared with the size (187.6 nm), PDI (0.184), EE (85.82%), LP (3.43%) and ZP (-23.5mV). Progesterone SLNs increased sperm and acrosome membrane integrity and TAC (p < .05). Also, the expression of P38MAPK, PKA, PTK, and SPACA1 genes in this group showed a significant increase (p < .001). Progesterone SLNs increased acrosome reaction, sperm capacitation and TAC. Also, it increased the expression of PTK PKA, SPACA1 and P38MAPK genes.

D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D000177 Acrosome The cap-like structure covering the anterior portion of SPERM HEAD. Acrosome, derived from LYSOSOMES, is a membrane-bound organelle that contains the required hydrolytic and proteolytic enzymes necessary for sperm penetration of the egg in FERTILIZATION. Acrosomes
D013075 Sperm Capacitation The structural and functional changes by which SPERMATOZOA become capable of oocyte FERTILIZATION. It normally requires exposing the sperm to the female genital tract for a period of time to bring about increased SPERM MOTILITY and the ACROSOME REACTION before fertilization in the FALLOPIAN TUBES can take place.

D013081 Sperm Motility Movement characteristics of SPERMATOZOA in a fresh specimen. It is measured as the percentage of sperms that are moving, and as the percentage of sperms with productive flagellar motion such as rapid, linear, and forward progression.

D013094 Spermatozoa Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.
