Mitochondrial DNA content reduction in the most fertile spermatozoa is accompanied by increased mitochondrial DNA rearrangement
28 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Is there an association between male fertility and spermatozoa mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number and genome rearrangements? SUMMARY ANSWER: Normal spermatozoa not only have a lower mtDNA copy number but also more DNA rearrangements than spermatozoa of men with severe oligoasthenospermia (SOA). WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: While there is a consensus that mtDNA content is decreased in the most fertile...
