Canine sperm motility is associated with telomere shortening and changes in expression of shelterin genes
Abstract Background Motion quality is a critical property for essential functions. Several endogenous and exogenous factors are involved in sperm motility. Here, we measured the relative telomere length and evaluated the gene expression of its binding-proteins, shelterin complex (TRF1, TRF2, RAP1, P...
