SIRT6 in mouse spermatogenesis is modulated by diet-induced obesity
19 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Male obesity is associated with reduced sperm function and increased incidence of sperm DNA damage; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms have not yet been identified. Mammalian SIRT6 protein is involved in caloric-dependant DNA damage repair in other tissue types, yet a possible role for SIRT6 in male obesity and subfertility has not been investigated previously. To assess SIRT6 levels and activity in the...
