Biochemical changes in some acrosomal enzymes of spermatozoa during maturation.
Goat spermatozoal hyaluronidase and acrosin show significantly increased activities during transition from caput to cauda epididymis. The activity of alkaline phosphatase decreases during spermatozoal transport through epididymis.
