Variation of docosahexaenoic acid content in subsets of human spermatozoa at different stages of maturation: Implications for sperm lipoperoxidative damage
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
The oxidation of phospholipid-bound docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has been shown to be one of the major factors that limit the motile life span of sperm in vitro. Sperm samples show high cell-to-cell variability in life span and, consequently, in susceptibility toward lipid peroxidation. Therefore, we postulated that there is also cell-to-cell variability in DHA concentration in human spermatozoa. In this study, the...
