Alterations in the testis of hormone sensitive lipase‐deficient mice is associated with decreased sperm counts, sperm motility, and fertility
20 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL, Lipe, E.C.3.1.1.3) functions as a triglyceride and cholesteryl esterase, supplying fatty acids, and cholesterol to cells. Gene-targeted HSL-deficient (HSL(-/-)) mice reveal abnormal spermatids and are infertile at 24 weeks after birth. The purpose of this study was to follow the evolution of spermatid abnormalities as HSL(-/-) mice age, characterize sperm motility in older HSL(-/-)...
