Sperm release from the oviduct reservoir
… sperm bind to the epithelial cells of the oviduct isthmus to form a sperm reservoir. This sperm reservoir regulates sperm capacitation, reduces polyspermy and prolongs fertile lifespan. It has been proposed that oviduct glycans interact with sperm, which leads to the formation of sperm …

Characteristics of sperm binding to the mouse oviduct
… sperm between mating and ovulation. The sperm reservoir prolongs sperm lifespan and keeps sperm in a quiescent stage due to delayed capacitation and suppressed motility. The objective of this study was to determine different characteristics of sperm binding to the oviduct. The study was …

Purification and identification of sulfated Lewis X binding proteins in boar sperm
… sperm can be held in the isthmus region of the oviduct forming a reservoir. There is evidence that formation of the oviduct sperm reservoir is mediated, at least partially, by sperm recognition of carbohydrate structures present on the oviduct epithelium. In pigs, previous studies have proposed …
