Defective sperm function has been identified as the most common cause of infertility. The
objective of this study was to review recent findings on the effects of various antioxidants on …

Measurement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) producing leukocytes in semen has been a
standard component of the semen analysis, but its true significance remains still unknown. In …

Impairment of normal spermatogenesis and sperm function are the most common causes of
male factor infertility. Abnormal sperm function is difficult to evaluate and treat. There is a …

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the
pathophysiology of human reproduction. DESIGN: Review of literature. SETTING: Fertility …

The male factor is considered a major contributory factor to infertility. Apart from the
conventional causes for male infertility such as varicocoele, cryptorchidism, infections …

Despite the long-standing notion of “oxidative stress,” as the main mediator of many
diseases including male infertility induced by increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) …

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to define the effect of apoptosis on sperm
quality and function. METHODS: The apoptotic features in sperm were assessed in 60 …

Molecular studies of the causes of male infertility revealed a significant contribution of
oxidative stress. When excessive amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate sperm viability, incidence of apoptosis, and intracellular basal
and induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) in sperm fractions. DESIGN: Prospective …

DNA damage, largely owing to oxidative stress, is a leading cause of defective sperm
function. High levels of oxidative stress result in damage to sperm DNA, RNA transcripts …
