Abstract excerpt
Sirt1 is a member of the sirtuin family of proteins and has important roles in numerous biological processes. Sirt1-/- mice display an increased frequency of abnormal spermatozoa, but the mechanism of Sirt1 in spermiogenesis remains largely unknown. Here, we report that Sirt1 might be directly involved in spermiogenesis in germ cells but not in steroidogenic cells. Germ cell-specific Sirt1 knockout mice were...
