The spermatozoon is a highly specialized cell, whose main function is the transport of the
intact male genetic material into the oocyte. During its formation and transit throughout male …

Infertility affects approximately 15% of couples trying to conceive, and a male factor
contributes to roughly half of these cases. Oxidative stress (OS) has been identified as one …

Male factor is responsible for 40–50% of infertility cases, contributing equally as a female
factor. Oxidative stress has now emerged as one of the major causes of unexplained male …

Reports of the increasing incidence of male infertility paired with decreasing semen quality
have triggered studies on the effects of lifestyle and environmental factors on the male …
