چکیده

Accurate assessment of reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentrations may help in the diagnosis of infertility. The chemiluminescence technique, which uses a luminometer to measure ROS, is a common method of assessment. A better understanding of the chemiluminescence technique will allow its proper application in reproductive medicine. A wide range of luminometers are available in the market, and laboratories should select the instruments that suit their individual needs.

O-13: Evaluation of Leptin Concentration in Seminal Plasma and Its Correlation with Reactive Oxygen Species, Lipid Peroxidation and Pronuclear Formation in Candidates for ICSI Treatment

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...

NADPH oxidase activity in preeclampsia with immortalized lymphoblasts used as models.

Upon activation, neutrophils release reactive oxygen species that are believed to contribute to the widespread manifestation of preeclampsia. Neutrophils have an NADPH oxidase enzyme that catalyzes the production of reactive oxygen species. Little is known about the manifestations of the activated response and the upstream signaling pathways that regulate this process in preeclampsia. It is hyp...

Identification of male factor infertility using a novel semen quality score and reactive oxygen species levels.

PURPOSE To determine whether patients with male factor infertility can be accurately identified by calculating a novel semen quality score and measuring levels of reactive oxygen species during routine infertility screening. METHODS Semen samples from 133 patients and 91 healthy donors were evaluated with manual and computer-assisted semen analysis. A principal component analysis model was em...

Chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay of 8-oxoguanine in DNA.

A test system has been developed to determine 8-oxoguanine in DNA, the most important biomarker of damage to DNA bases by reactive oxygen species. The system is based on a chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay with the use of monoclonal antibodies (mcAB) against 8-oxoguanine. The test involves several stages: 1) immobilization of DNA on nitrocellulose membrane filters using an efficient techniqu...
