Despite the physiological role of oxidant molecules, oxidative stress (OS) could underlie
several human diseases. When the levels of antioxidants are too low or too high, OS occurs …

Proper physiological function of the ovaries is very important for the entire female
reproductive system and overall health. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as …

collaborative effort to combine approaches and ideas from different experts working on
oxidative stress. The advent of oxidative hypothesis of pathogenesis led to a paradigm shift …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have deleterious or beneficial effects; this dual nature of
ROS means that ROS act as intracellular signaling molecules and as defense mechanisms …

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 …

When antioxidant defenses are weakened, body cells and tissues become more prone to
develop dysfunction and/or disease. Then, the maintenance of adequate antioxidant levels …

Oxidative stress plays a major role in critical biological processes in human reproduction.
However, a reliable and biologically accurate indicator of this condition does not yet exist …

The measure of antioxidant capacity (AC) considers the cumulative action of all the
antioxidants present in plasma and body fluids, thus providing an integrated parameter …

Oxidative stress has received a considerable scientific attention as a mediator in the etiology
of many human diseases. Oxidative stress is the result of an imbalance between free …

In a healthy body, ROS (reactive oxygen species) and antioxidants remain in balance. When
the balance is disrupted towards an overabundance of ROS, oxidative stress (OS) occurs …
