Novel additive for sperm cryopreservation media: Holotheria parva coelomic cavity extract protects human spermatozoa against oxidative stress—A pilot study
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)
Cryopreservation is the most effective method for preserving semen for a long period of time. However, during the freeze–thaw process, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to a steep reduction in sperm fertility ...
Scientific landscape of oxidative stress in male reproductive research: A scientometric study
(Elsevier, 2020)
Unraveling the role of reactive oxygen species and associated oxidative stress (OS) in male reproduction is one of the key areas of male reproductive research. This article illustrates the scientific landscape of OS in ...
Seminal oxidation–reduction potential levels are not influenced by the presence of leucocytospermia
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)
Oxidative stress (OS) is characterised by an excessive amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which negatively affect sperm functions. In this study, the influence of leucocytes on seminal oxidation–reduction potential ...
Causes and consequences of sperm mitochondrial dysfunction
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)
Mitochondria have multiple functions, including synthesis of adenine triphosphate,
production of reactive oxygen species, calcium signalling, thermogenesis and apoptosis. Mitochondria have a significant contribution in ...
Reactive oxygen species in male reproduction: A boon or a bane?
(Wiley, 2020)
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are free radicals derived from oxygen during normal cellular metabolism. ROS play a crucial role in the physiological processes and signalling pathways associated with male fertility. At ...
Total antioxidant capacity—Relevance, methods and clinical implications
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020)
Oxidative stress is pre‐empted by an adequate level of antioxidants, which scavenge oxidants when they are produced in excess by different sources, including leukocytes and immature spermatozoa. Enzymatic antioxidants, ...
Ritalinic acid stimulates human sperm motility and maintains vitality in vitro
(Korean Society for Sexual Medicine and Andrology, 2020)
To evaluate the in vitro impact of ritalinic acid (RA), a major metabolite of methylphenidate (drug to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder), on sperm motility, vitality and oxidative stress. Materials and Methods: ...
Alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase inhibitory activities, molecular docking, and antioxidant capacities of salvia aurita constituents
(MPDI, 2020)
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most dangerous metabolic diseases with a high rate of mortality worldwide. It is well known that insulin resistance and deficiency in insulin production from pancreatic β-cells are the ...
Differential sensitivity of two endothelial cell lines to hydrogen peroxide toxicity: Relevance for in vitro studies of the blood–brain barrier
(MPDI, 2020)
Oxidative stress (OS) has been linked to blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction which in
turn has been implicated in the initiation and propagation of some neurological diseases. In this study,
we profiled, for the first ...
