The revolutionary discovery in the treatment of male infertility and production of new contraceptive methods. Scientists have discovered a kind of molecular "accelerator pedal", which controls the speed of sperm.
Experts from the University of California have discovered how "chemical switch" not only controls the selection sperm , but also speed their movements as they rush to the egg. This process is critical for the successful fertilization. If the sperm is "start" too fast or too soon, she will die before reaching the egg.
If sperm will move to the goal too late, they just miss the right to fertilization moment. "Imagine now that we know the molecule responsible for the rate of sperm We can learn to block them to prevent fertilization - it will be a revolution in male contraception, - said study author Dr. Yuriy Kirichok. - On the other hand, if necessary, we will be able to add the required amount of egg sperm to increased chances of fertilization. "
Science already knows that speed of movement sperm level determined pH (acidity) in the body. The lower the level, the faster the sperm. But American scientists have discovered a process by which the pH can be controlled. They found that the tiny pores on the tail of the sperm, which would serve as a "gateway," protons allow acid to penetrate and increase the velocity of a sperm.
In turn, these "gates" controlled molecule Hv1. And if you take control of the molecule itself, we get full control over the speed of sperm.
