Cytochemical behavior of rabbit spermatozoa chromatin in male and female genital tracts.
Cytochemical parameters have been used to investigate the physicochemical modifications of rabbit spermatozoa chromatin in the male and female genital tracts. Analysis of these parameters revealed the progressive condensation of the DNA-protein complex along the male genital tract and its progressive decondensation along the female genital tract.
