Fertilization-promoting peptide (FPP), angiotensin II (AII) and calcitonin, present in seminal plasma, have significant effects on mouse sperm function in vitro. This study investigated responses of uncapacitated and capacitated human sperm to these peptides, initially using samples from donors with normal semen parameters and then samples from men attending infertility clinics.
