Mouse sperm resting membrane potential (E(r)) (-42 +/- 8.8 mV), determined with a potential sensitive dye, depended on extracellular K+ and, in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+](e)), on external Na+ ([Na+](e)). Ca2+ addition (> 5 mu M) to sperm in Ca-free media induced a transient hyperpolarization (Ca-ith) which strongly depended on [Na+](e) and less on external Cl- ([Cl-](e) Cd2+ and Mn2+ (mu M) mimicked the Ca2+ effect, but not Ba2+. The Ca-ith was partially inhibited by ouabain (74%, IC50 = 5.8 mu M) and niflumic acid (38%, IC50 = 240 mu M), indicating the participation of the Na-K ATPase and Cl- channels. In Ca-free low-Na+ media, Ca2+ addition caused a depolarization sensitive to: nimodipine (25 mu M), trifluoperazine (12.5 mu M) and Mg2+ (1.2 mM), suggesting the participation of Ca2+ channels. Since some inhibitors of the sperm Ca-ith block the acrosome reaction (AR), both processes may share transport systems.
