Abstract

Expression of testicular angiotensin-converting enzyme on the surface of human spermatozoa was studied by means of flow cytometry with monoclonal antibodies. Expression of testicular angiotensin-converting enzyme on the cell surface depended on functional and morphological characteristics of spermatozoa.
