Newest firstThe endocannabinoid system (ECS) is evolutionarily conserved and regulates key physiological processes, including sperm motility and capacitation. However, the localization and function of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) in human sperm remain debated, with prior widefield microscopy studies producing inconsistent results. Using confocal and Airyscan microscopy, we mapped CB1 distribution in human sperm, revealing a d…
Open article record in new tab ↗The cannabinoid receptor CB1 regulates differentiation of spermatids. We recently characterized spermatozoa from caput epididymis of CB1-knock-out mice and identified a considerable number of sperm cells with chromatin abnormality such as elevated histone content and poorly condensed chromatin. In this paper, we extended our findings and studied the role of CB1 in the epididymal phase of chromatin condensation of…
