Copper-Mediated Mitochondrial Fission/Fusion Is Associated with Intrinsic Apoptosis and Autophagy in the Testis Tissues of Chicken.

In conclusion, CuSO4 exposure can influence the mitochondrial dynamics balance and lead to mitochondria-initiated intrinsic pathway of apoptosis and autophagy, which triggers the testicular poisoning in chickens. What is more, there is a correlation among mitochondrial dynamics, apoptosis, and autophagy. PMID: 29974384 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
