Abnormal physical architecture of the lipophilic domains of human sperm membrane in oligospermia: a logical cause for low fertility profiles.

abstract：:In vivo electroporation and hydrodynamics-based gene delivery were utilized to test the effect of leptin gene transfer on food intake, and body and fat weights of mice. Gene transfer of pVRmob by electroporation caused a significant reduction in body weight compared with the control counterpart (p<0.05), although a le...
