Does Prohibitin Expression Regulate Sperm Mitochondrial Membrane Potential, Sperm Motility, and Male Fertility?
12 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
Prohibitin (PHB) is a highly conserved major sperm mitochondrial membrane protein whose absence in somatic cells is associated with mitochondrial membrane depolarization and increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Our recent findings suggest that high levels of oxidants in human semen may contribute to male infertility and that sperm motility could be the earliest and most sensitive indicator of...
