Graphene oxide affects in vitro fertilization outcome by interacting with sperm membrane in an animal model
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0008622317312757#undfig1 Abstract We realized the exposure of boar spermatozoa to graphene oxide (GO) at concentration of 0.5, 1, 5, 10 and 50 μg/mL in an in vitro system able to promote the capacitation, i.e. the process that allows sperm cells to became fertile. Interestingly, we found that the highest GO concentration (5, 10 and 50 μg/mL) are toxic for spermatozoa, while the … Read more
