Superoxide dismutase content and fatty acid composition in subsets of human spermatozoa from normozoospermic, asthenozoospermic, and polyzoospermic semen samples
20 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Human ejaculated sperm comprised discrete subsets of spermatozoa, with different degrees of maturation. These subpopulations can be isolated through density gradient centrifugation. Sperm from the lowest density layer show the highest content of docosahexaenoic acid and sterols, and produce the highest levels of reactive oxygen species. The main objective of this study was to determine the superoxide dismutase...
