Cryopreservation Induces an Apoptosis-Like Mechanism in Bull Sperm
1 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Cryopreservation induces many changes in sperm cells, including membrane disorders and cell death. We tested the hypothesis that apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death, can contribute to the fatal effect of cryopreservation on sperm cells. A multiparametric study of apoptosis on bovine sperm is proposed, using flow cytometry, including mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)), caspase activation,...
