The John Hughes Memorial Lecture: Aspects of Sperm Physiology—Oxidative Stress and the Functionality of Stallion Spermatozoa
2014-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Spermatozoa are vulnerable to oxidative attack because they contain an abundance of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are susceptible to lipid peroxidation. In addition, functionally important proteins and DNA are also subject to oxidative modification and adduction by aldehydes, such as 4-hydroxynonenal (4HNE), generated as a consequence of the peroxidative process. The proteins adducted by 4HNE include elements o...
