چکیده
Purpose To determine whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) in semen samples could be measured with the Monolight™ 3010 Luminometer. Methods Using the Monolight™ 3010 Luminometer, the ROS was measured in the unprocessed semen samples of infertile male patients, as well as the luminescence of 190 semen samples. The samples were classified as "luminescence-detectable" (n = 89) and "luminescence-undetectable" (n = 101). Thereafter, the luminescence of the semen samples that had been obtained from the 715 infertile patients was measured and compared by using Sperm Motility Analyzing System measurements. Moreover, in order to investigate the ROS measurement consistency, the chemiluminescence values of 84 samples were measured concurrently by using the Monolight™ 3010 Luminometer and the 1251 Luminometer™. Results The semen volume, sperm motility, and progressive motility of the samples were significantly higher in the luminescence-undetectable samples. The sperm motility, straight-line velocity, curvilinear velocity, mean amplitude head displacement, beat cross frequency, and progressive motility showed an inverse correlation with the logarithmic-transformed luminescence level in the luminescence-detected samples. The integrated chemiluminescence levels in the 84 samples were correlated. Conclusion The substance that was measured in the unprocessed semen with the Monolight™ 3010 Luminometer and stimulated chemiluminescence is ROS.

Comparison of reactive oxygen species in neat and washed semen of infertile men
BACKGROUND Male are involved in near 50% of cases of infertility and reactive oxygen species (ROS) playing an important role in decreasing fertility potential. Accurate measurement of ROS seems to be important in evaluation of infertile male patients. OBJECTIVE To compare ROS measurement in neat and washed semen samples of infertile men and define the best method for evaluation of ROS in thes...

Background Leptin, as a key hormone in energy homeostasis, plays an important role in reproduction and male fertility. However, its negative or positive effect on sperm quality and assisted reproduction technique is still controversial. The aim of this study was the comparison of seminal leptin concentration in selected couples with male and female factor for intracytoplasmic microinjection (IC...

We defined the basal levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in normal donors in neat (whole unprocessed) semen specimens, and in mature and immature spermatozoa isolated by a double-density gradient technique. In addition, we demonstrated that the ROS levels were significantly lower in neat semen compared with washed spermatozoa. The reference values of ROS in neat semen and mature spermatozoa...
