The lipid metabolism in sperm cells is important both for energy production and for cell structure, A special composition of membrane phospholipids. rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). and the different composition of sperm and immature germ cell membrane are described and discussed. Testis germ cells as well as epididymal maturing spermatozoa are endowed with enzymatic and non-enzymatic scavenger systems to prevent lipoperoxidative damage. Catalase, superoxide dismutase. and glutathione-dependent oxidoreductases are present in variable amounts in the different developmental stage. Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGPx) activity and roles in caput and cauda epididymal sperm cells are discussed. Also seminal plasma has a highly specialized scavenger system that defends the sperm membrane against lipoperoxidation and the degree of PUFA insaturation acts to achieve the same goal. Systemic predisposition and a number of pathologies can lead to an anti-oxidant/pro-oxidant disequilibrium. Scavengers. such as glutathione can be used to treat these cases as they can restore the physiological constitution of PUFA in the cell membrane. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
