Relationship between sperm apoptosis signalling and oocyte penetration capacity
15 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
Human sperm have been documented to display apoptosis-like features such as externalization of phosphatidylserine (EPS), disruption of the transmembrane mitochondrial potential (MMP) and activation of caspases. Our aim was to evaluate possible association between activation of the apoptosis cascade in human sperm and its oocyte penetration capacity using the zona free hamster oocyte penetration assay (SPA).
