The Cannabinoid Receptor CB1 Stabilizes Sperm Chromatin Condensation Status During Epididymal Transit by Promoting Disulphide Bond Formation
The cannabinoid receptor CB1 regulates differentiation of spermatids. We recently characterized spermatozoa from <i>caput</i> epididymis of <i>CB1</i>-knock-out mice and identified a considerable number of sperm cells with chromatin abnormality such as elevated histone conten...
