Oxidative stress (OS) due to an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and
antioxidants has been established as an important factor that can negatively affect the …

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

Oxidative stress is involved in the aetiology of defective embryo development. Reactive
oxygen species (ROS) may originate from embryo metabolism and/or embryo surroundings …

In brief Reactive oxygen species are generated throughout the pre-implantation period and
are necessary for normal embryo formation. However, at pathological levels, they result in …

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a common treatment of choice for many couples
facing infertility issues, be it due to male or female factor, or idiopathic. Employment of ART …

BACKGROUND Despite advances in ART, implantation and pregnancy rates per embryo
transfer still remain low. IVF laboratories strive to ensure that the process of handling …

In human in-vitro fertilization (IVF)-embryo transfer, the in-vitro culture environment differs
from in-vivo conditions in that the oxygen concentration is higher, and in such conditions the …

Producing high-competent oocytes during the in vitro maturation (IVM) is considered a key
step for the success of the in vitro production (IVP) of embryos. One of the known disruptors …
