Abstract
The influence of critical telomeric attrition, a well-known trigger of apoptosis and cell arrest, on sperm DNA fragmentation was studied in late-generation knockout mice for Terc, the RNA component of telomerase, as a model of choice. Terc knockout mice had a sixfold mean increase in the percentage of sperm cells with fragmented DNA.Entities:
