Effect of an Endocrine Disruptor on Mammalian Fertility. Application of Monoclonal Antibodies against Sperm Proteins as Markers for Testing Sperm Damage

Abstract

The present results demonstrate that BPA has a negative effect on in vivo fertility of mice, with impact on spermatogenesis and sperm quality. Monoclonal antibodies against intra-acrosomal sperm proteins can be used for detecting sperm damage.
