Abstract
Enzyme activities have been demonstrated in mammalian spermatozoa (2, 3, 5, 6) but no comparative study has yet been made on changes in these activities during spermatozoon epididymal transit. The aim of this study is to evaluate some enzymatic activities of spermatozoa during maturation in a rodent and a primate
