Oxidative damage is one threat spermatozoa have to face during epididymal maturation and storage. However, it is clear that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are also central for sperm physiology in processes such as sperm maturation and capacitation. It is therefore essential that there exists around sperm cells a fine balance between ROS production and recycling. To do so, sperm cells and epididymal epithelial cells rely on common enzymatic ROS scavengers such as superoxide dismutase (SOD… CONTINUE READING
