Identification of acetylcholine and propionylcholine in bull spermatozoa by integrated pyrolysis, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. 1977

M R Bishop, and B V Sastry, and W B Stavinoha

Acetylcholine was identified in fertile bull spermatozoa using combined pyrolysis gas-chromatography and mass spectrometry. Bull spermatozoa contain other minor choline esters in smaller quantities than acetylcholine. One of the minor choline esters is possibly propionylcholine. The spermatozoa from infertile bulls exhibited low motility and very low levels of acetylcholine.

D002794 Choline A basic constituent of lecithin that is found in many plants and animal organs. It is important as a precursor of acetylcholine, as a methyl donor in various metabolic processes, and in lipid metabolism.

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

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.
