Journal ArticleDOI
A double-blind randomized placebo cross-over controlled trial using the antioxidant vitamin E to treat reactive oxygen species associated male infertility*†
E. Kessopoulou,Hillary J. Powers,Khawam K. Sharma,Michael J. Pearson,Jean Russell,Ian D. Cooke,Christopher L.R. Barratt +6 more
TL;DR: Oral administration of vitamin E significantly improves the in vitro function of human spermatozoa as assessed by the zona binding test in a double-blind randomized placebo cross-over controlled trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of reactive oxygen species in human semen: spermatozoa or leucocytes?
TL;DR: It is demonstrated by performing extraction experiments with antibody-coated magnetic beads that, within this unselected population of patients, leucocytes were the major source of ROS in the low-density Percoll fraction.
Journal Article
Semen characteristics and fertility tests required for storage of spermatozoa. Discussion
Christopher L.R. Barratt,S. Clements,E. Kessopoulou,Jouannet,Tarlatzis,Bassas,Thepot,Englert,Critser,Baldock,Bardoux,Gottlieb +11 more
TL;DR: This review addresses critical issues in the selection of semen donors who are very fertile and the establishment of regional centres in Europe will be a good starting point to deal with many of the issues raised in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
The diagnostic and prognostic value of traditional semen parameters.
TL;DR: A high-quality basic semen analysis represents one cornerstone in the investigation of the infertile couple and the clinical value of traditional semen parameters in the diagnosis of male fertility is the subject of considerable debate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The polypeptide backbone of recombinant human zona pellucida glycoprotein-3 initiates acrosomal exocytosis in human spermatozoa in vitro
TL;DR: Recombinant human ZP3 was expressed in Escherichia coli as a C-terminal fusion to the dimeric glutathione S-transferase (GST) from Schistosoma japonicum and was shown to induce acrosomal exocytosis in live, capacitated human spermatozoa, implying that the polypeptide chain of human Zp3 contributes to recognition of spermatoozoa during acrosome exocyTosis in vitro
