Abstract excerpt
Treatment with chemotherapeutics agents may induce persistent DNA damage in male germ cells with the possibility of long-term consequences on fertility and progeny outcome. Telomeres, specialized structures at the physical ends of chromosomes, play an important role in the maintenance of genetic stability and in the response of somatic cells to anticancer drugs. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that...
