Abstract
The authors give the results of their and other authors’ investigations, which demonstrate the negative impact of apoptosis on sperm quality. In subfebrile males, the amount of ejaculated apoptotic spermatozoa correlates with their concentration, mobility, and morphological defects. The presently accumulated facts allow one to regard the laboratory signs of apoptosis (phosphatidylserine externalization, Fas expression on the cells, DNA fragmentation) as factors that decrease sperm fertility.
