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 ...
Quest for the best—a move to anatomical endoscopic enucleation of the prostate
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)
The history of surgical enucleation for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic enlargement dates back more than 100 years (Freyer, 1919). Open prostatec-tomy (OP) is an invasive procedure ...
An exploratory study of contractile force production in muscle fibers from patients with inflammatory myopathies
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)
Introduction: The mechanism by which weakness develops in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) is still unclear. In this study we investigated the maximum force of single muscle fibers from patients with IIMs. Methods: ...
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 ...
The synergistic and neuroprotective effects of alcohol–antioxidant treatment on blood–brain barrier endothelial cells
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)
Background: Alcohol (EtOH) is reported to adversely affect one of the most crucial roles of the blood–brain barrier (BBB), the regulation of its permeability, thereby compromising the stability of the homeostatic environment ...
PICSI vs. MACS for abnormal sperm DNA fragmentation ICSI cases: A prospective randomized trial
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Purpose: To know which sperm selection technique, physiological intracytoplasmic sperm injection (PICSI) or magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS), is better for the selection of sperm with abnormal sperm DNA fragmentation ...
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 ...
Enzymatic detoxification of the fumonisin mycotoxins during dry milling of maize
(Elsevier, 2021)
Fumonisin esterase FumD (EC 3.1.1.87), FUMzyme® (BIOMIN, Austria), effectively detoxifies fumonisin B mycotoxins (FB) by hydrolysis and removal of the tricarballylic acid groups. The current study evaluated FumD detoxification ...
Human coronaviruses: counteracting the damage by storm
(MDPI Viruses, 2021)
Over the past 18 years, three highly pathogenic human (h) coronaviruses (CoVs) have caused severe outbreaks, the most recent causative agent, SARS-CoV-2, being the first to cause a pandemic. Although much progress has been ...
The validity and reliability of computer-aided semen analyzers in performing semen analysis: a systematic review
(AME Publishing, 2021)
Infertility is defined as the inability to achieve a clinical
pregnancy following one year of regular and timed
intercourse without contraception (1). It is estimated that
infertility affects approximately 15% of ...
