- W2054273681 abstract "The fine structure of chromatin in sperm heads was investigated by different microscopic techniques: in vivo examinations in the polarizing microscope, thin sections and freeze-fracture replicas observed by transmission electron microscopy. The freeze-fractured chromatin appears to be formed of superimposed lamellae, each one 330 Å thick. These lamellae are parallel to the flattening plane of the sperm head. This situation was already described in other mammal spermatozoa and in particular in the bull and the rabbit. This work presents a new interpretation of this lamellated aspect. The chromatin structure of these spermatozoa is that of a cholesteric liquid crystal, This structure resembles that of a plywood, made of superimposed layers of parallel filaments, but instead of having a right angle between two successive layers, there is a progressive rotation and similar orientation occurs at each 180 ° rotation. The apparent lamellae result from cleavages due to freeze-fracture between levels of parallel filament orientation. The thickness of lamellae corresponds therefore to the half helicoidal pitch of the cholesteric liquid crystal. This model is consistent with our observations by polarizing microscopy. The lamellation is not visible in thin sections of stallion spermatozoa. There are however biochemical methods to decondense chromatin and we are able to observe this lamellation in sections normal to the flattening plane of sperm heads. The methods used classically to decondense the sperm chromatin lead to extremely varied aspects which are discussed, some of them being closely related to the structure of cholesteric liquid crystals." @default.
