Sperm nuclear instability and staining with aniline blue: abnormal persistance of histones in spermatozoa in infertile men
1 Aug 1992
Abstract excerpt
During mammalian spermiogenesis, replacement of the somatic histones by basic proteins, the protamines, allows normal sperm nuclear condensation. In this study we have evaluated the degree of chromatin compaction in spermatozoa from 191 infertile subjects, affected by different testicular disorders, compare with that in 50 fertile sperm donors (controls). In infertile men, there was a higher percentage of...
