Nitric oxide synthase and tyrosine nitration in idiopathic asthenozoospermia: an immunohistochemical study.

Abstract

Our results support the hypothesis that increased NOS activity and an excess of tyrosine nitration may affect the functional characteristics of spermatozoa in idiopathic asthenozoospermia.
