Spermatozoa Bound to Solid State Hyaluronic Acid Show Chromatin Structure With High DNA Chain Integrity: An Acridine Orange Fluorescence Study
12 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
During human spermiogenesis, the elongated spermatids undergo a plasma membrane remodeling step that facilitates formation of the zona pellucida and hyaluronic acid (HA) binding sites. Various biochemical sperm markers indicated that human sperm bound to HA exhibit attributes similar to that of zona pellucida-bound sperm, including minimal DNA fragmentation, normal shape, and low frequency of chromosomal...
