1 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to define the effect of apoptosis on sperm quality and function. METHODS: The apoptotic features in sperm were assessed in 60 subfertile subjects, using Annexin-V staining for phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization and Tdt-mediated dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) assay for DNA fragmentation.
