Oxidative stress and apoptosis 7. Apoptosis and male infertility 8. Apoptosis and male …

Activation of caspase, externalization of phosphatidyl serine, change in the mitochondrial
membrane potential, and DNA fragmentation are apoptosis markers found in human …

BACKGROUND: Apoptosis plays an important role in regulating spermatogenesis. However,
the biological significance of apoptosis in ejaculated sperm is not yet clear. This study set …

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to define the effect of apoptosis on sperm
quality and function. METHODS: The apoptotic features in sperm were assessed in 60 …

PURPOSE: Increased testicular apoptosis has been observed in maturation arrest and
hypospermatogenesis states in rodent models, but this process has not yet been …

During early development, apoptosis plays a major role in the ontogeny of the germ line as a
means of regulating the germ cell: Sertoli cell ratio. In the adult, apoptosis fulfils another …

Programmed cell death is an evolutionarily conserved cell death process that plays a major
role during normal development and homeostasis. In many cases, the ordered execution of …

Apoptosis occurs at any time in the ontogeny of the testis, especially during the first wave of
spermatogenesis. However, the exact mechanisms by which homeostasis of apoptosis and …

Male fertility, the ability of sperm to fertilize and activate the egg and support early
embryogenesis, is vital for mammalian reproduction. Despite producing adequate numbers …

The significance of cell death occurring during spermatogenesis is a subject of interest
because of its potential medical importance. Unfortunately, the field has been difficult for …
