Abstract
Sperm is highly sensitive to superoxide radical surge in the granuloma interior. To investigate possibility of a superoxide radical bomb, th e role of an oxyradical on the spermatozoon was studied in vitro using potassium superoxide, a potent superoxide radical producer. Results c onfirm that the superoxide radical has a unique site-specific scissori ng power.
