The study of sperm energy metabolism measured using 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Studying energy metabolism in sperm may be helpful in understanding the relationship between poor sperm motility and infertility. Sperm motility is fuelled by Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Main ATP related production pathways are anaerobic glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). These pat...
