Abstract

In situ electrophoresis is a newly developed method to measure the lateral diffusion of cell membrane components. In the present study, the effect of gossypol formic acid on the fluidity of spermatocyte plasma membrane of rat was investigated by the techniques of in situ electrophoresis and microfluorimetry. The lateral diffusion coefficient of spermatocyte membrane components (Con A receptors) of rat was increased obviously by gossypol formic acid.
