Petefészekciszták

Petefészekciszták, also known as sperm granulocytes, are a type of white blood cell found in the seminal fluid of males. They play a crucial role in the immune system of the male reproductive tract. These cells are characterized by their granular cytoplasm, which contains various enzymes and antimicrobial proteins. Their primary function is to protect the sperm from the acidic environment of the female reproductive tract and to combat any potential pathogens that may be present.

Petefészekciszták are produced in the prostate gland and are released into the seminal fluid during ejaculation. They are one of the most abundant cell types in seminal fluid, making up approximately 50-60% of the total cell population. Their presence in seminal fluid is a key indicator of a healthy prostate gland and male reproductive system.

These cells are also involved in the regulation of sperm motility and capacitation, processes that are essential for successful fertilization. They can influence sperm motility by releasing various factors that either stimulate or inhibit sperm movement. Additionally, petefészekciszták can modulate the capacitation process, which is the acquisition of the ability to fertilize an egg by sperm.

In summary, petefészekciszták are vital components of seminal fluid, contributing to the protection of sperm, the regulation of sperm function, and the overall health of the male reproductive system. Their presence and function are indicative of a healthy prostate gland and reproductive health.
