Figure 4

Sperm mitochondrial superoxide production and mitochondrial membrane potential in spermatozoa from parent, F1 and F2 generation males, assessed via flow cytometry (n = 10 replicates, each replicate consisting of sperm from 10 to 15 males, per treatment group). Parameters presented include percentage of viable spermatozoa with high mitochondrial superoxide production, considered as the Mitosox positive/Syber Green negative population and the percentage of spermatozoa with high mitochondrial membrane potential, represented by the population exhibiting a shift toward increased JC-10 fluorescence. Values presented are the mean ± SEM. Different superscript represents statistical differences (P < 0.05). Refer to Legend below:
