[General scheme of modification of reproductive cell death]

A general scheme of modification of reproductive cell death is proposed. At the first, physicochemical, stage modification involves changes in the concentration of thiols and oxygen in a cell. This may be implemented by different agents (e. g. thiols, indolylalkylamines, oxygen, substances influencing the oxygen consumption by a cell, etc.). At the second stage, modification occurs due to the increase (a nonspecific reaction and mitosis delay) or decrease (repair inhibitors and hyperthermia) in the enzymatic repair of potential damages.
