| Abstract |
Endogenous and exogenous opioids modulate reproductive functions in target cells via opioid receptors (µ, δ, and κ). Sperm motility is a metric of gamete functionality, and serves as a suitable parameter for in vitro drug-induced toxicity assays. This study identifies the presence and location of opioid receptors in pig spermatozoa as well as their functional response after in vitro challenge with known agonists (morphine [µ]; [D-Pen 2,5]-enkephanile [δ]; and U 50488 [κ]) and antagonists (naloxone [µ]; naltrindole [δ]; and nor-binaltrorphimine [κ]). Only the µ- and δ-opioid receptors were present in the sperm plasma membrane, overlying the acrosome, neck, and principal piece. Challenge experiments with agonists and antagonists identified both µ- and δ-opioid receptors as regulators of sperm kinematics, wherein µ maintains or increases sperm movement whereas δ decreases sperm motility over time.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 August 2016.
All research outputs
#16,699,002
of 24,561,012 outputs
Outputs from Molecular Reproduction and Development
#957
of 1,323 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#225,051
of 347,075 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Molecular Reproduction and Development
#9
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,561,012 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,323 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 347,075 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
