Evaluation of oxidative stress in idiopathic male infertility in the Iraqi population

Introduction and Aim: Idiopathic infertility accounts for at least 30% of all cases infertility, oxidative stress has been identified as a novel developing factor in idiopathic male infertility. Oxidative occurs when antioxidant defense mechanisms are outmatched by the creation reactive oxygen species (ROS). The purpose this research was to examine impact enzymatic antioxidants (catalase superoxide dismutase; CAT SOD) on sperm DNA fragmentation associated alteration Iraqi males with Materials Methods: One hundred infertile guys (50 oligozoospermia 50 asthenozoospermia) normospermia) had their dismutase, catalase, malondialdehyde levels tested. Results: Our study showed that index (DFI) patients who suffered from asthenozoospermia higher than individuals normozoospermia. Seminal plasma SOD MDA were participants compared controls (P < 0.001) .The concentration seminal oligozoospermic asthenozoospermic men not significantly different normospermic men. DFI correlated negatively status (SOD, CAT) MDA, while positively MDA. Conclusion: impacts include breakage sperm, lipid peroxidation being primary cause This is less successful fertility outcomes couples. According findings we obtained, well substantially quality sperm.
