Figure 1

Red or pink staining of the acrosomal region indicated intact acrosomes, whereas white, brown, or yellowish acrosomes were interpreted as acrosome reacted. Induced sperm acrosome reaction on treatment with calcium ionophore (1000x)-positive control (a). Effect of SIF on calcium ionophore induced sperm acrosome reaction (1000x) (b). Sperm acrosome reaction on treatment with DMSO (1000x)-negative control (c). Effect of SIF on sperm acrosome reaction in DMSO-treated sample (1000x) (d).
