In vitro follicle growth and oocyte maturation still has a series of limitations, since not all
oocytes matured in vitro have the potential to develop in viable embryos. One of the factors …

Graphical abstract Abstract Infertility affects millions of couples worldwide. Oxidative stress
(OS) causes peroxidation of lipids and damage to spermatozoa, thus, reducing the quality of …

Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at eukaryotic chromosome ends and function in
maintaining genome integrity and stability. These unique structures undergo shortening due …

Background Millions of children have been born throughout the world thanks to ARTs, the
harmlessness of which has not yet been fully demonstrated. For years, efforts to evaluate the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress (OS), the imbalance between the
production of free radicals and the cellular antioxidant defenses, are discussed in relation to …

Based on current findings, the presence of oxidative stress has a significant impact on the
quality of gametes and embryos when performing assisted reproductive techniques (ART) …

Background: In the last 40 years, assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs) have emerged as
potentially resolving procedures for couple infertility. This study aims to evaluate whether …

Spermatozoa (SPZ) are sensitive to stressful conditions, particularly oxidative stress, which
alters their quality; thus, the use of protective molecules as an antioxidant is encouraged …

Porcine in vitro fertilization often results in low embryo development rates compared to other
livestock species, which is often associated with either a low fertilization rate or high …

Spermatozoa are highly differentiated cells that produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) due
to aerobic metabolism. Below a certain threshold, ROS are important in signal transduction …
