Journal ArticleDOI

Aldo E. Calogero,Riccardo Polosa,Anna Perdichizzi,Francesca Guarino,Sandro La Vignera,Alessia Scarfia,Enza Fratantonio,Rosita A. Condorelli,Oriana Bonanno,Nunziata Barone,Nunziatina Burrello,Rosario D'Agata,Enzo Vicari +12 more
TL;DR: Since transmission of smoking-induced sperm DNA alterations has been found in pre-implantation embryos, and this may predispose offspring to a greater risk of malformations, cancer and genetic diseases, men seeking to father a child are recommended to give up smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Tumour Necrosis Factor-α on Human Sperm Motility and Apoptosis
Anna Perdichizzi,Ferdinando Nicoletti,Sandro La Vignera,Nunziata Barone,Rosario D'Agata,Enzo Vicari,Aldo E. Calogero +6 more
TL;DR: Findings may explain the reduction of fertility, secondary to upregulated production of TNF-α, in men with urogenital infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Globozoospermia is associated with chromatin structure abnormalities: Case report
Enzo Vicari,Anna Perdichizzi,Adele De Palma,Nunziatina Burrello,Rosario D'Agata,Aldo E. Calogero +5 more
TL;DR: This is the first case report of round-headed sperm that has shown an elevated number of sperm with abnormal chromatin structure and DNA strand breaks, and it is reported here a study of the sperm DNA integrity and chromosome aneuploidy and diploidsy rates of a patient with 100% round- headed sperm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Chlamydia trachomatis infection causes apoptosis in human sperm
Annalisa Satta,Aldo Stivala,Adriana Garozzo,Angela Morello,Anna Perdichizzi,Enzo Vicari,Mario Salmeri,Aldo E. Calogero +7 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of C. trachomatis on sperm apoptosis found that the infection causes sperm PS externalization and DNA fragmentation, which may explain the negative direct impact of the infection on sperm fertilizing ability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental car exhaust pollution damages human sperm chromatin and DNA
Aldo E. Calogero,S. La Vignera,Rosita A. Condorelli,Anna Perdichizzi,Daniela Valenti,Paola Asero,Umberto Carbone,Bartolomeo Boggia,N. De Rosa,G. Lombardi,Rosario D'Agata,L. O. Vicari,Enzo Vicari,M. De Rosa +13 more
TL;DR: This study showed that car exhaust exposure has a genotoxic effect on human spermatozoa, of relevant importance not only for the reproductive performance of the men exposed, but also for the offspring health.
