Oxygen uptake by mitochondria in demembranated human spermatozoa: a reliable tool for the evaluation of sperm respiratory efficiency
15 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
In this work we report a relatively simple and fast method for analysing oxygen consumption and therefore mitochondrial functionality, in individual human ejaculates. This oxygraphic method requires a low number of cells, is highly reproducible and linearly correlates with sperm concentration. Our results have shown that oxygen uptake by mitochondria of demembranated sperm cells from normozoospermic subjects is...
