Abstract:A wide spectrum of exogenous factors, including diet, environmental pollutants, stress, and seasonal changes have major impact on sperm quality and function. The molecular basis, however, that explains this susceptibility remains largely unknown. Using a combination of proteomics and small RNA (sRNA) sequencing, we show that Drosophila sperm display rapid molecular changes in response to dietary sugar, both in terms of metabolic/redox proteins and sRNA content, particularly miRNA and mitochondria derived sRNA … Show more
