Local and Systemic Oxidative Stress Biomarkers for Male Infertility: The ORION Study

Anna T. Bergsma et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of oxidative stress on male infertility by comparing levels of free thiols and malondialdehyde (MDA) in seminal fluid and serum of infertile patients. The researchers find a positive correlation between seminal plasma-free thiol levels and sperm concentration and motility, as well as a positive correlation between MDA levels in seminal plasma and sperm concentration.

Age-Related Decline of Male Fertility: Mitochondrial Dysfunction and the Antioxidant Interventions

Jing-Jing Wang et al.

Summary: Mitochondria play crucial roles in male gametes, producing energy and regulating various cellular processes. Dysfunction and overproduction of ROS in mitochondria may contribute to male infertility. Antioxidant interventions show promising potential in treating male infertility.

Male Infertility Coexists with Decreased Sperm Genomic Integrity and Oxidative Stress in Semen Irrespective of Leukocytospermia

Kamil Gill et al.

Summary: Our research aimed to verify the relationship between male infertility, sperm morphology, sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF), oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) in semen, and leukocytospermia. The results showed that infertile groups had lower semen characteristics and higher SDF, ORP levels than fertile controls. The risk for SDF and ORP were significantly higher in infertile groups. Surprisingly, leukocytospermic subjects had lower ORP levels and lower risk for high ORP than leukocytospermic-negative men. These findings suggest a relationship between male infertility, SDF, and oxidative stress, and the assessment of SDF and oxidative stress should be independent of leukocytospermia.

Identifying the dose response relationship between seminal metal at low levels and semen quality using restricted cubic spline function

Xueshan Jia et al.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between seminal metals and sperm parameters. The results indicate a non-linear relationship between seminal chromium and vanadium exposure and sperm concentration, total sperm count, and semen quality. In addition, seminal MDA is found to be a good indicator of sperm movement.

Male infertility

Ashok Agarwal et al.

Summary: Infertility affects 8-12% of couples globally, with male factors contributing to around 50%. The causes of male infertility are diverse, requiring thorough evaluation to identify treatable or reversible factors. Semen analysis is key for evaluation, while advanced tests have been developed to investigate sperm quality and function.

Seminal Plasma: Relevant for Fertility?

Heriberto Rodriguez-Martinez et al.

Summary: Seminal plasma, a non-cellular component of semen, plays a crucial role in sperm function and interactions with the female reproductive tract. It participates in diverse pre-fertilization events and triggers gene function changes to prepare for successful pregnancy. Despite the fertility of SP-free spermatozoa, its components have diagnostic biomarker potential and can be used as additives to improve reproductive strategies in livestock and humans.

An In-Depth Bibliometric Analysis and Current Perspective on Male infertility Research

Saradha Baskaran et al.

Summary: The research found that male infertility studies have shown an exponential increase over the past 20 years, with the USA dominating research output and focusing on testicular cancer, obesity and metabolic syndrome, and azoospermia. Prognostic/diagnostic and mechanistic studies have significantly increased, while proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics studies have been relatively fewer, and there is an increasing trend in assisted reproductive technology (ART) research.
