In sperm, oxidative stress triggers structural damage to biomolecules, DNA, lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins, as well as other cellular components that eventually impair multiple signaling pathways resulting in male sub/infertility. In this chapter, we describe the methods applied to evaluate the effects of the oxidative stress on sperm attributes of domestic and wild small ruminants’ species, mainly by flow cytometry. Together with the traditional usage of fluorescent probes, we provide details of the knowhows involving the combination of immunodetection and the flow cytometry technologies.

摘要

In sperm, oxidative stress triggers structural damage to biomolecules, DNA, lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins, as well as other cellular components that eventually impair multiple signaling pathways resulting in male sub/infertility. In this chapter, we describe the methods applied to evaluate the effects of the oxidative stress on sperm attributes of domestic and wild small ruminants’ species, mainly by flow cytometry. Together with the traditional usage of fluorescent probes, we provide details of the knowhows involving the combination of immunodetection and the flow cytometry technologies.
