Acetylcholine was identified in fertile bull spermatozoa using combined pyrolysis gas-chromatography and mass spectrometry. Bull spermatozoa contain other minor choline esters in smaller quantities than acetylcholine. One of the minor choline esters is possibly propionylcholine. The spermatozoa from infertile bulls exhibited low motility and very low levels of acetylcholine.
运用热解气相色谱和质谱联用技术在可育公牛精子中鉴定出了乙酰胆碱。公牛精子中还含有其他少量胆碱酯类,其含量低于乙酰胆碱。其中一种少量胆碱酯类可能是丙酰胆碱。不育公牛的精子活力较低,乙酰胆碱水平也极低。
