title: The effect of glycerol and dilution on the release of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase from chicken spermatozoa.
abstract: Glycerol was added to washed chicken spermatozoa to determine its effect on the release of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT). The addition of up to 2.191 M glycerol did not cause a release of GOT when it was added as part of the diluent. GOT was released, however, following rapid decreases in the glycerol concentration of a diluent. The amount of GOT released was related to the rate of change in molarity of glycerol.
