Paternal DNA Damage Resulting From Various Sperm Treatments Persists After Fertilization and Is Similar Before and After DNA Replication
26 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
In spite of its highly condensed state, sperm DNA is vulnerable to damage that can originate from oxidative stress, the activity of sperm-specific nucleases, or both. After fertilization, in the oocyte, paternal chromatin undergoes dramatic changes, and during this extensive remodeling, it can be both repaired and degraded, and these processes can be linked to DNA synthesis. Here, we analyzed sperm response to...
