Bronchiectasis and oligospermia: two families.

Oxygen free radicals and mitochondrial signaling in oligospermia and asthenospermia.

The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of oxygen free radicals and mitochondrial signaling in semen disorders, in particular, how this induces low concentrations and reduced motility of sperm. Ejaculate samples were obtained from 120 young adult males (mean age, 28.7±5.3 years) with normal semen (n=30), oligospermia (n=30), asthenospermia (n=30) and oligoasthenozoospermia (n=30). Th...

Biochemical parameters in evaluation of oligospermia.

In Pakistan, male infertility constitutes about 35% of all cases of infertility. The dysfunction can be at the level of the central nervous system or somewhere in the male genital tract. A study was conducted to screen cases of male infertility using various biochemical parameters. A total of 81 cases were screened. Oligospermia was seen in 13 (16%) patients. They were divided into severe and m...

Y chromosome microdeletions frequency in idiopathic azoospermia, oligoasthenozoospermia, and oligospermia

Background Genetic factors are candidates for about 30% of male infertility with sperm production-related abnormalities. Y chromosome microdeletions are responsible for around 10% of male infertility. These microdeletions generally occur in azoospermia factor on the Yq. That is often associated with the quantitative reduction of sperm. Objective The aim of this cross-sectional study was to de...
