Role of oxidative stress in female reproduction
Abstract In a healthy body, ROS (reactive oxygen species) and antioxidants remain in balance. When the balance is disrupted towards an overabundance of ROS, oxidative stress (OS...
Oxidative stress and male reproductive biology
Spermatozoa were the first cell type in which the cellular generation of reactive oxygen was demonstrated. This activity has now been confirmed in spermatozoa from all mammalian...
Reactive oxygen species generation and human spermatozoa: The balance of benefit and risk
Abstract Although the generation of reactive oxygen species is an activity normally associated with phagocytic leucocytes, mammalian spermatozoa were, in fact, the first cell ty...
Analysis of the relationship between reactive oxygen species production and leucocyte infiltration in fractions of human semen separated on Percoll gradients
Summary We have shown previously that the reactive oxygen species generated by washed human ejaculates originate from cells which can be isolated in the low density region of di...
Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species, Lipid Peroxidation, and Human Sperm Function
Recent studies have demonstrated that human spermatozoa are capable of generating reactive oxygen species and that this activity is significantly accelerated in cases of defecti...
