Mitochondrial permeability transition increases reactive oxygen species production and induces DNA fragmentation in human spermatozoa
5 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Does mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) induced by calcium overload cause reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and DNA fragmentation in human spermatozoa? SUMMARY ANSWER: Studies conducted in vitro suggest that in human spermatozoa, MPT occurs in response to intracellular calcium increase and is associated with mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) dissipation, increased ROS...
