Male Infertility and Oxidative Stress: A Focus on the Underlying Mechanisms

Robert John Aitken et al.

Summary: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a critical role in defining the functional competence of human spermatozoa. Adequate levels of ROS promote sperm capacitation, while excessive ROS generation leads to oxidative stress, disrupting fertilizing capacity and DNA integrity. Understanding the mechanisms of oxidative stress is essential for developing effective antioxidant strategies.

Sperm subpopulations influence the pregnancy rates in cattle

Myrian Megumy Tsunokawa Hidalgo et al.

Summary: This study found that bulls with low reproductive performance have a higher proportion of static cells in their sperm, while bulls with high reproductive performance have higher membrane integrity and motility. Cluster analysis showed that the main sperm subpopulation in low-fertility bulls is slow and gradual sperm, whereas high-fertility bulls have fast and nonlinear sperm as the main subpopulation.

Sperm Motility, Oxidative Status, and Mitochondrial Activity: Exploring Correlation in Different Species

Alessandra Gallo et al.

Summary: This study found correlations between sperm motility and oxidative status, mitochondrial functionality, which varied among different species, and showed that ROS caused a decline in sperm motility via oxidative damage of membrane lipids. The use of fluorescent probes in combination with spectrofluorometer is a simple and powerful methodology for evaluating sperm quality.
