A Review: Role of oxidative stress in male infertility
Recent studies have shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) have a very important role in the intracellular signaling process in physiological conditions. On the other hand, during the recent decade it has been indicated that ROS play a role in various types of male infertility and it is due to the overproduction of ROS or decrease in the antioxidant defense system in the reproductive system a...
متن کاملReactive Oxygen Species and Antioxidant in Seminal Plasma and Their Impact on Male Fertility
Spermatozoa generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in physiological amounts which play a role in sperm functions during sperm capacitation acrosome reaction (AR) and oocyte fusion. In addition damaged sperm are likely to be the source of ROS. The most important ROS produced by human sperm are hydrogen peroxide superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals. Besides human seminal plasma and sperm posses...
متن کاملP-69: Cellular and Molecular Mechanism of Male Infertility in The Athletes That Abuse Anabolic Androgenic Steroids: Apoptosis in Spermatogenic Cells, Caspase 3 Activity and The Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in The Rat Model
Background: Anabolic-androgenic steroids are used at high doses by athletes for improving athletic ability, physical appearance and muscle mass. Unfortunately, the abuse of these agents has significantly increased. It has been established that exercise and high doses of anabolic-androgenic steroids may influence the hypothalamic- pituitary-testis axis, which can in turn affect testicular apopto...
متن کاملOxidative Stress and its Role in Female Infertility and Assisted Reproduction: Clinical Implications
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in physiological functions and act as mediators in various signaling processes. Elevated or sustained generation of free radicals and non radical species derived from free radicals can lead to an imbalance in the intracellular redox homeostasis. Normally, any excess levels of reactive radical and nonradical species generated are intercepted by antioxid...
متن کاملInhibition of CatSper and Hv1 Channels and NOX5 Enzyme Affect Progesterone-Induced Increase of Intracellular Calcium Concentration and ROS Generation in Human Sperm
Background: Normal sperm function depends on appropriate intracellular calcium (Cai2+) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Calcium activates NADPH oxidase-5 (NOX5) that leads to ROS generation. The calcium channel of sperm (CatSper) is activated by progesterone and intracellular alkalization. Herein, the interactive role of CatSper, Hv1 channels, and NOX5 enzyme on Cai2+ and ROS generatio...
