Somatic cell apoptosis markers and pathways in human ejaculated sperm: potential utility as indicators of sperm quality
2 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
In this study we extended earlier work to determine whether sperm respond to somatic cell apoptotic stimuli and whether apoptotic phenotypes are significant indicators of human sperm quality. We evaluated ejaculated sperm from fertile donors and subfertile patients following purification of fractions of high and low motility. In unstimulated conditions, caspase enzymatic activity was higher in motile fractions...
