Caspase-dependent and -independent DNA fragmentation in Sertoli and germ cells from men with primary testicular failure: relationship with histological diagnosis
1 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Germ cell elimination and sperm DNA fragmentation in men with primary testiculopathies involve apoptosis-related processes whose mechanisms are poorly understood. This study examines the participation of typical (caspase-dependent) and atypical (caspase-independent) pathways in these processes. METHODS: Caspase activity and DNA fragmentation were evaluated in Sertoli and germ cells from 63 men with...
