OBJECTIVES: To examine levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in fertile semen donors and patients
with varicocele and examine its association with semen characteristics and levels of reactive …

This prospective study was performed to evaluate the relationship between interleukin‐6 (IL‐
6), oxidative stress and sperm function following vasectomy reversal. We included 22 …

Varicocele is one of causes of the declined sperm quality and low sperm production, which
can lead to infertility in males. There are several experimental and epidemiological findings …

The levels of two proinflammatory cytokines, namely tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and
interleukin 6 (IL-6), were investigated in seminal plasma (SP) of proven fertile (n= 24) and …

OBJECTIVES To assess oxidative stress markers, antioxidant capacity and cytokines in
seminal plasma from infertile patients with varicocele, and to investigate seminal oxidative …

Reproductive tract inflammation is considered an important cause of male infertility.
Increased leukocytes in semen can produce many reactive oxygen species (ROS), which …

Objective To quantify the levels of reactive oxygen species, superoxide dismutase (SOD),
and interleukins (IL) 2 and 8 in seminal plasma of infertile patients as well as to examine the …

This study aimed to assess seminal plasma oxytocin (OT) and oxidative stress (OS) levels in
infertile men with varicocele (Vx). A total of 131 men were divided into fertile men (n= 20) …

Varicocele has been hypothesized to lead to seminal inflammation, which in turn interferes
with sperm function. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of inflammatory …

OBJECTIVE: To compare semen quality and levels of seminal oxidative stress among three
groups: infertile men with varicocele, fertile men with varicocele, and healthy semen donors …
