Reduced spermatozoa functionality during stress is the consequence of adrenergic-mediated disturbance of mitochondrial dynamics markers

Abstract excerpt

Here we investigate the stress-signaling responsible for the effects of acute/repeated psychological stresses (the most common stresses in human society) on spermatozoa number and functionality, as well as the transcriptional profile of mitochondrial dynamics markers by using the in vivo and ex vivo approaches. Acute and repeated stress inhibit spermatozoa functionality (acute -> 3.2-fold, repeated -> 2.5-fold),...
