Smoking‐induced genetic and epigenetic alterations in infertile men
(Wiley, 2018)
Male fertility rates have shown a progressive decrease in both developing and industrialised countries in the past 50 years. Clinical and epidemiological studies have demonstrated controversial results about the harmful ...
Radiations and male fertility
(Springer Nature, 2018)
During recent years, an increasing percentage of male infertility has to be attributed to an array of environmental,
health and lifestyle factors. Male infertility is likely to be affected by the intense exposure to heat ...
Reactive oxygen species and male reproductive hormones
(BMC, 2018)
Reports of the increasing incidence of male infertility paired with decreasing semen quality have triggered studies
on the effects of lifestyle and environmental factors on the male reproductive potential. There are ...
Reactive oxygen species and male reproductive hormones
(BMC, 2018)
Reports of the increasing incidence of male infertility paired with decreasing semen quality have triggered studies
