Relevance of peroxynitrite formation and 3-nitrotyrosine on spermatozoa physiology
1 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
Highlights Male fertility decline has been attributed, in part, to increased oxidative stress. Here we will focus on spermatozoa ROS, namely O2•−, NO and ONOO− and their contribution to protein tyrosine nitration, namely by 3-NT formation. An in depth review will be made on the methods used to detect protein oxidation. Detecting 3-NT in sperm proteins will have a crucial clinical impact, namely on the follow up...
