Comparative analysis of tests used to assess sperm chromatin integrity and DNA fragmentation
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)
Male infertility has a complex etiology, and many times, the cause is unknown. While routine semen analysis provides an overview of basic semen parameters, such as sperm concentration, motility, viability and morphology, ...
Evaluation of seminal oxidation–reduction potential in male infertility
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)
The role of oxidative stress in male infertility has been broadly recognised, and the search for a new marker to determine the redox environment in semen has gained considerable interest. Oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) ...
Reactive oxygen species in male reproduction: A boon or a bane?
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)
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, 2021)
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, ...
Male infertility, oxidative stress and antioxidants
(IntechOpen, 2021)
Within the male reproductive system, oxidative stress (OS) has been identified
as prevailing etiology of male infertility. The effects of reactive oxygen species
(ROS) on male fertility depend on the dimensions, “modus ...

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 ...

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: ...
