Abstract:
Sperm is highly sensitive to superoxide radical surge in the granuloma interior. To investigate possibility of a superoxide radical bomb, the role of an oxyradical on the spermatozoon was studied in vitro using potassium superoxide, a potent superoxide radical producer. Results confirm that the superoxide radical has a unique site-specific scissoring power.
