reproductive system
• fewer than normal sperm are present
• however, surviving sperm are functionally normal
|
• heat-treated spermatogenic cells exhibit increased apoptosis compared with similarly treated wild-type cells
• spermatogenic apoptosis is associated with increased oxidative damage compared to in wild-type cells
