title: Lipid peroxidation products in human spermatozoa: detection and pathogenic significance.
abstract: Products of lipid peroxidation (Schiff-base products were detected in normal human spermatozoa. During aerobic incubation of the spermatozoa with an oxidant (ferrous sulphate) the peroxides became detectable in increased concentration. Coincidentally with the formation of peroxides the sperm motility declined.
