Somatic production of reactive oxygen species does not predict its production in sperm cells across Drosophila melanogaster lines
Abstract Objective Sperm ageing has major evolutionary implications but has received comparatively little attention. Ageing in sperm and other cells is driven largely by oxidative damage from reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by the mitochondria. Rates of organismal ageing differ across specie...
