Oxidative stress, DNA damage and the Y chromosome

2001-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Recent advances in understanding of male infertility have implicated two major causative factors, oxidative stress and Y chromosome deletions. A major cause of oxidative stress appears to be the high rate of reactive oxygen species generation associated with the retention of excess residual cytoplasm in the sperm midpiece. Other possible causes include the redox cycling of xenobiotics, and antioxidant depletion or...
