Alongside an increasing prevalence of couple and male infertility, evidence suggests
there is a global declining trend in male fertility parameters over the past few decades.
This may, at least in part, be explained ...
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 ...
In Silico Sperm Proteome Analysis to Investigate DNA Repair Mechanisms in Varicocele Patients
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021-12-17)
Varicocele, a condition associated with increased oxidative stress, negatively affects sperm DNA integrity and reduces pregnancy rates. However, the molecular mechanisms related to DNA integrity, damage, and repair 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 ...
The role of infections and leukocytes in male infertility
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)
Declining birth rates are one of the problems facing society today. Male counterparts are responsible for about half of the infertility cases, and genitourinary tract infections may play a contributing role in approximately ...
Environmental contaminants and male infertility: Effects and mechanisms
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)
The escalating prevalence of male infertility and decreasing trend in sperm quality have been correlated with rapid industrialisation and the associated discharge of an excess of synthetic substances into the environment. ...
Diagnostic value of advanced semen analysis in evaluation of male infertility
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)
Conventional semen analysis is the standard of care to initially evaluate the fertility status of a male patient. However, it has some limitations and among these are failure to correctly identify the aetiology underlying ...
A Global Survey of Reproductive Specialists to Determine the Clinical Utility of Oxidative Stress Testing and Antioxidant Use in Male Infertility
(The world journal of men's health, 2021)
Globally, infertility impacts 15% of couples trying to conceive. The incidence of male infertility has been increasing over the past several decades, ranging from 20% to 70% worldwide [1,2]. The male partner is found to ...
Epididymal contribution to male infertility: An overlooked problem
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)
The diagnosis and treatment of male infertility, excluding assisted conception, are limited because of, but not limited to, poor understanding of sperm post-testicular development and storage. Many may think that sperm ...
Male infertility
(Lancet Publishing Group, 2021)
It is estimated that infertility affects 8–12% of couples globally, with a male factor being a primary or contributing cause in approximately 50% of couples. Causes of male subfertility vary highly, but can be related to ...
