Semen analysis is the cornerstone of male fertility evaluation with WHO guidelines providing
the basis for procedural standardization and reference values worldwide. The first WHO …

Current evidence links oxidative stress (OS) to male infertility, reduced sperm motility, sperm
DNA damage and increased risk of recurrent abortions and genetic diseases. A review of …

Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) has been generally acknowledged as a valuable tool for
male fertility evaluation. While its detrimental implications on sperm function were …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are an integral component of sperm developmental
physiology, capacitation, and function. Elevated ROS levels, from processes such as …

Oxidative stress occurs when the production of potentially destructive reactive oxygen
species (ROS) exceeds the bodies own natural antioxidant defenses, resulting in cellular …

Activation of caspase, externalization of phosphatidyl serine, change in the mitochondrial
membrane potential, and DNA fragmentation are apoptosis markers found in human …

Sperm is particularly susceptible to reactive oxygen species (ROS) during critical phases of
spermiogenesis. However, the level of seminal ROS is restricted by seminal antioxidants …

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

Many studies have focused on male infertility. There is limited evidence about the influence
of nutrition on quality of semen. Approximately, 30-80% of infertility cases are caused by …

The effects of reactive oxygen species on male fertility are governed by the oxidative
paradox, defined by a delicate balance between oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity …
