Research Abstract |
The aim of our study is whether autophagy is involved in the sperm mitochondria degradation in mouse embryos. We showed that degradation of sperm mitochondria normally occurred in the absence of autophagy, indicating the possibility that other degradation pathway could be involved in the sperm mitochondria degradation.
