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 ...
Diagnostic value of routine semen analysis in clinical andrology
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)
Infertility is a major health issue affecting over 48.5 million couples around the world, with the male factor accounting for about 50% of the cases. The conventional semen analysis recommended by the World Health Organization ...
Proteomics and metabolomics — Current and future perspectives in clinical andrology
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)
Proteomics and metabolomics are emerging as promising tools to investigate the molecular mechanisms associated with male infertility. Proteins and metabolites play a pivotal role in regulating the molecular pathways ...
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, ...
