Cover Story: The image shows the effects following Mytilus galloprovincialis exposure to chromium VI on spermatogenesis. Mussels were exposed to three doses (1, 10 and 100 nM) of chromium VI for 24 hours. A reduced DNA binding affinity of sperm nuclear basic proteins, detectable by an Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay, and consequently a significant reduction in sperm motility, indicative of an altered sperm chromatin structure, are observed in particular following exposure to 1 nM of chromium VI.
