Obesity is associated with increased seminal insulin and leptin alongside reduced fertility parameters in a controlled male cohort
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Obesity appears to be associated with male reproductive dysfunction and infertility, although this has been inconsistent and inconclusive. Insulin and leptin are known mediators and modulators of the hypothalamus-pituitary-testes ...
The impact of male overweight on semen quality and outcome of assisted reproduction
(Medknow Publications, 2014)
The impact of obesity on male reproductive health remains a
contested topic as evidence is inconclusive and inconsistent. Even
more debatable is the effect of male obesity in assisted reproduction.
In the manuscript, ...
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: ...
Automation of human semen analysis using a novel artificial intelligence optical microscopic technology
(Wiley Online Library, 2019)
Current semen analysis still commonly depends on a manual microscopy method in clinical laboratories worldwide. However, some of the major disadvantages of this technique are that it is labour‐intensive, subjective, ...
Tunel assay: establishing a sperm dna fragmentation cut-off value for Egyptian infertile men
(Wiley Online Library, 2019)
Male factor infertility is responsible for half of all infertility cases. Conventional semen analysis is inadequate to evaluate male fertility. Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) test can be done by: direct methods such as ...
Is there plagiarism in the most influential publications in the field of andrology?
(Wiley Online Library, 2019)
Plagiarism is a common form of academic misconduct that extensively jeopardises the quality of scientific publication. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent of plagiarism in the most influential andrology ...
Critical evaluation of two models of flow cytometers for the assessment of sperm DNA fragmentation: an appeal for performance verification
(Medknow Publications, 2019)
Lack of standardized, reproducible protocols and reference values is among the challenges faced when using new or upgraded
versions of instruments in reproductive laboratories and flow cytometry. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl ...
Effects of temperature and storage time on the motility, viability, DNA integrity and apoptosis of processed human spermatozoa
(Wiley, 2019)
The aim of this study was to evaluate motility, viability, DNA integrity and apoptosis of
spermatozoa when washed semen samples were kept for up to 12 days at 4–6°C and
25°C. In this experimental study, 26 normozoospermic ...
