One in six couples of reproductive age worldwide are affected at least once by some form of infertility. In vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) are widely-available assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The identification and isolation of the most-motile sperm with DNA integrity are essential to IVF and ICSI, ultimately affecting treatment consequences and ...

During the past thirty years, basic and experimental studies on classical (superovulation; non-surgical recovery and transfer of cattle embryos) and advanced embryo technologies (in vitro embryo production; cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer) have generated structural and functional information on oocyte development and quality, fertilisation and conceptus development. This information ha...

There has been a growing interest in the use of plant bioactive substances, such as polyphenols, as antioxidants in assisted reproduction technologies. Previous studies have focused on the use of vitamins C and E as potent antioxidants for semen cryopreservation in mammals [1,2]. However, some polyphenols such as quercetin, a secondary metabolite in plants, have been found to exhibit higher ant...

Without question, the implementation of artificial insemination (AI) has been the greatest achievement in swine reproductive technology during the last decade. Because AI in swine is not a new technology, the underlining technological enhancements of this procedure are most likely responsible for its recent popularity. It is widely accepted that reproductive performance as a result of AI can be...

INTRODUCTION The sexual and reproductive health of people living with HIV is fundamental for their well-being. Antiretroviral therapy and reproductive technologies have significantly improved quality of life of people living with HIV in developed countries.
