Molecular Determinants in Seminal Plasma and Spermatozoa: Nontargeted Metabolomics
摘要
The metabolites present in seminal plasma are products of several functions in spermatozoa, such as energy production, motility, protection, pH control, and regulation of metabolic activity, among others. The use of metabolomics tools to search for biomarkers in human and animal andrology has grown in recent years and has proven to be highly efficient. With the present technique, it was possible to identify more than 1286 molecules in seminal plasma and more than 1393 molecules in boars’ sperm.
