Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated how cadmium (Cd) affects sperm motility, protein phosphorylation, and the location of these proteins in mouse sperm using various scientific techniques.
- - The results showed that higher concentrations of Cd significantly reduced sperm motility and increased the phosphorylation of specific proteins (~55 kDa) found mainly in the middle section of sperm.
- - The presence of ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA) helped to prevent the effects of Cd, suggesting it might protect against sperm motility reduction by chelating Cd ions and blocking their entry into sperm cells.
