The clinical effect of sperm DNA damage in assisted reproduction has been a controversial
topic during recent decades, leading to a variety of clinical practice recommendations. While …

BACKGROUND The best-known role of spermatozoa is to fertilize the oocyte and to transmit
the paternal genome to offspring. These highly specialized cells have a unique structure …

Sperm plasma membrane lipids are essential for the function and integrity of mammalian
spermatozoa. Various lipid types are involved in each key step within the fertilization …

Sperm selection in the female reproductive tract (FRT) is sophisticated. Only about 1,000
sperm out of millions in an ejaculate reach the fallopian tube and thus have a chance of …

Objective To identify the most robust molecular biomarkers in sperm and seminal plasma for
the diagnosis of male infertility, and to evaluate their clinical use. Design Systematic review …

Liquid storage of spermatozoa is important for artificial insemination and herd genetic
breeding. However, the extended time of storage inducing the rapid decline in spermatozoa …

Fertilization is essential for species survival. Although Izumo1 and Juno are critical for initial
interaction between gametes, additional molecules necessary for sperm: egg fusion on both …

Exposure to trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) has been associated with impaired semen quality;
however, its association with spermatozoa apoptosis and DNA damage remains unclear …

This study was carried out to evaluate the level of nuclear sperm DNA damage in men with
isolated polymorphic teratozoospermia and examining its relationship with apoptosis and …

This study intends to determine the extent of nuclear sperm injury in patients with varicocele
and to investigate its relationship with apoptosis and oxidative stress (OS). Ejaculated sperm …
