Influence of reactive oxygen species produced by activated leukocytes at the level of apoptosis in mature human spermatozoa.
Human spermatozoa incubated with polymorphonuclear leukocytes and Escherichia coli showed a significant increase in the annexin V binding (P<.05). This increase was similar to that obtained when spermatozoa were incubated with polymorphonuclear leukocytes activated by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate.
