Epigenetics Role in Spermatozoa Function: Implications in Health and Evolution-An Overview.

ABSTRACT: The unique properties of spermatozoa are established through the spermatogenesis and maturation processes concurrently with its epigenome. It is known that damage to epigenetic mechanisms can lead to reproductive problems. However, scientific reviews addressing the role of the spermatozoa epigenome during the reproductive process are scarce. Therefore, the aim of this review was to offer a detailed overview of current knowledge in the field of spermatozoa epigenetics and its consequent implications. A full search was performed through three databases by combining five keywords. Inclusion criteria were implemented to grant accessibility, relevance, and concretion. Besides, some articles were manually removed or added to obtain an adequate and complete collection of 485 scientific publicatio
