Failure of the Expression of Phospholipid Hydroperoxide Glutathione Peroxidase in the Spermatozoa of Human Infertile Males1
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGPx) was intensely expressed in mitochondria in the midpiece of human spermatozoa by immunostaining with anti-PHGPx monoclonal antibodies. The PHGPx not only reduced phospholipid hydroperoxide but also scavenged hydrogen peroxide in human spermatozoa. We found a dramatic decrease in the level of expression of PHGPx in the spermatozoa of some infertile males by...
