Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are complex linear polysaccharides, which are covalently
attached to core proteins (except for hyaluronan) to form proteoglycans. They play key roles …

Although male factors account for approximately 50% of all infertility, the mechanisms
underlying their origin are unknown. Currently, clinicians rely primarily on semen analyses …

Background The assisted reproductive techniques aimed to assist infertile couples have
their own offspring carry significant risks of passing on molecular defects to next …

OBJECTIVE: To identify a panel of common seminal proteins in human seminal plasma by
fertile men that might be involved in successful reproduction. DESIGN: Experimental study …

Sperm are highly specialized compartmentalized cells, with unique compositional,
morphological and functional properties, including a plasma membrane that undergoes …

Background The human seminal fluid is a complex body fluid. It is not known how many
proteins are expressed in the seminal plasma; however in analog with the blood it is …

Immune infertility, in terms of reproductive failure, has become a serious health issue
involving approximately 1 out of 5 couples at reproductive age. Semen that is defined as a …

For human infertility both male and female factors may be equally important. Searching for
molecular biomarkers of male infertility, neglected for decades, and the attempts to explain …

Hormone binding proteins (HBPs) belong to the group of soluble carrier proteins. These
proteins selectively and non-covalently interact with hormones and promote growth …

Background Seminal plasma serves as a natural reservoir of antioxidants. It helps to remove
excessive formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and consequently, reduce oxidative …
