Differences in nuclear DNA fragmentation and mitochondrial integrity of semen and prepared human spermatozoa
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
Sperm DNA integrity is essential for accurate transmission of genetic material to offspring. Fragmentation of genomic DNA is an initial hallmark of apoptosis (programmed cell death). The aim of this study was to determine sperm nuclear DNA integrity and mitochondrial function, to quantify possible apoptosis and to investigate any relationship between these parameters. Semen samples (n = 25) were prepared by...
