Porins and Lipopolysaccharide Induce Apoptosis in Human Spermatozoa

Abstract excerpt

Treatment of human spermatozoa with porins or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increases spontaneous apoptosis in these cells. Porins and LPS were extracted from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Pasteurella multocida and were mixed with human spermatozoa for detection of levels of apoptosis.
