Selection against spermatozoa with fragmented DNA after postovulatory mating depends on the type of damage
31 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Before ovulation, sperm-oviduct interaction mechanisms may act as checkpoint for the selection of fertilizing spermatozoa in mammals. Postovulatory mating does not allow the sperm to attach to the oviduct, and spermatozoa may only undergo some selection processes during the transport through the female reproductive tract and/or during the zona pellucida (ZP) binding/penetration.
