Factors From Damaged Sperm Affect Its DNA Integrity and Its Ability to Promote Embryo Implantation in Mice
21 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
Endogenous nucleases in mouse sperm can be activated by freeze-thawing the spermatozoa in media without cryoprotection and cleaving spermatozoa DNA. The role of sperm chromatin integrity during intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is of critical importance. We analyzed in the B6D2 mouse the proportion of DNA-fragmented spermatozoa (DFS) produced by incubation in conditioned medium (CM) generated by...
