Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is believed to be both the source and target of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and mtDNA genetic alterations have been reported to be associated with molecular defects in the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system. In order to investigate the potentially susceptible mtDNA genetic variants to oligoasthenospermia, we conducted a two-stage study in 921 idiopathic infertile men with...
