Chromatin condensation but not DNA integrity of pig sperm is greater in the sperm-rich fraction
Abstract Background Protamination and condensation of sperm chromatin as well as DNA integrity play an essential role during fertilization and embryo development. In some mammals, like pigs, ejaculates are emitted in three separate fractions: pre-sperm, sperm-rich (SRF) and post sperm-rich (PSRF). T...
