Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as by-products of aerobic respiration and
metabolism. Mammalian cells have evolved a variety of enzymatic mechanisms to control …

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 …

Nuclear factor-erythroid 2 p45-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is the primary transcription factor
protecting cells from oxidative stress by regulating cytoprotective genes, including the …

Oxidative stress has been implicated in various aspects of aging, but the role of oxidative
stress in ovarian aging remains unclear. Our previous studies have shown that the initiation …

Sperm capacitation can be increased by the addition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and
decreased by antioxidants. Broadly consistent results have been achieved with a wide …

Controlled oxidation, such as disulfide bond formation in sperm nuclei and during ovulation,
plays a fundamental role in mammalian reproduction. Excess oxidation, however, causes …

Selenium is an essential trace element that up-regulates a major component of the
antioxidant defense mechanism by controlling the body's glutathione (GSH) pool and its …

Oxidative stress occurs when generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) overwhelms
antioxidant defenses. Oxidative stress has been associated with male infertility. The …

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary isoleucine (Ile) on the immune
response, antioxidant status, tight junctions, and microbial population in the intestine of …

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary phospholipids (PL) on the
growth performance, intestinal enzyme activity and immune response and intestinal physical …
