The effect of ZnO nanoparticles on rabbit spermatozoa motility and viability parameters in vitro

Zinc plays a very important role in various biological activities of the body. Multifaceted role of zinc is also known in testes development, spermatogenesis, capacitation and has effect on spermatozoa motility. On the other hand, the growing industry of nanotechnology has created reasonable interes...
