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, ...
A scientometric analysis of research publications on male infertility and assisted reproductive technology
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are considered as one of the primary management options to address severe male factor infertility. The purpose of this study was to identify the research trends in the field of male ...
Etiologies of sperm DNA damage and its impact on male infertility
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)
Male factor is responsible for up to 50% of infertility cases in the world. Semen analysis is considered the cornerstone of laboratory evaluation of male infertility, but it has its own drawbacks and fails to predict the ...
Association among sperm chromatin condensation, sperm DNA fragmentation and 8-OHdG in seminal plasma and semen parameters in infertile men with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia
(Wiley, 2021)
The present study aimed to investigate the clinical role of standard sperm diagnosis
parameters (sperm concentration, motility, morphology) as well as aniline blue staining of histones, 8-OHdG, TUNEL assay were performed ...
Polymorphisms of androgens-related genes and idiopathic male infertility in Turkish men
(Wiley, 2021)
Androgens, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) are endocrine regulators of
spermatogenesis and act via androgen receptor (AR). The aim of this study was to investigate the association(s) of AR (CAG repeat length), ...
