Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro effects of nicotine on sperm motility and bio-functional flow cytometry sperm parameters.
Rosita A. Condorelli,S. La Vignera,Filippo Giacone,Licia Iacoviello,Enzo Vicari,Laura M. Mongioì,Aldo E. Calogero +6 more
TL;DR: Nicotine suppressed, in a concentration-dependent manner, sperm progressive motility and increased the number of spermatozoa in late apoptosis, with altered chromatin compactness, or DNA fragmentation already after 3 hours of incubation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epigenetics of Male Fertility: Effects on Assisted Reproductive Techniques.
Filippo Giacone,Rossella Cannarella,Laura M. Mongioì,Angela Alamo,Rosita A. Condorelli,Aldo E. Calogero,Sandro La Vignera +6 more
TL;DR: This article reviews the possible epigenetic modifications of spermatozoa and their effects on male fertility, embryonic development and ART outcome and focuses mainly on sperm DNA methylation, chromatin remodeling, histone modifications and RNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environment and Male Fertility: Effects of Benzo-α-Pyrene and Resveratrol on Human Sperm Function In Vitro
Angela Alamo,Rosita A. Condorelli,Laura M. Mongioì,Rossella Cannarella,Filippo Giacone,Vittorio Calabrese,Sandro La Vignera,Aldo E. Calogero +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that BaP alters sperm motility and bio-functional sperm parameters and that RES exerts a protective effect on BaP-induced sperm damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro effects of zinc, D-aspartic acid, and coenzyme-Q10 on sperm function.
Filippo Giacone,Rosita A. Condorelli,Laura M. Mongioì,Valentina Bullara,Sandro La Vignera,Aldo E. Calogero +5 more
TL;DR: A statistically significant lower sperm lipid peroxidation was found after incubation with zinc, D-aspartic acid, and coenzyme-Q10, and this nutraceutical formulation may be indicated in vitro during the separation of the spermatozoa in the assisted reproduction techniques, during which the spermutozoa undergo an increased oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
B(a)P adduct levels and fertility: A cross‑sectional study in a Sicilian population
Gea Oliveri Conti,Aldo E. Calogero,Filippo Giacone,Maria Fiore,Martina Barchitta,Antonella Agodi,Margherita Ferrante +6 more
TL;DR: BaP negatively affects male fertility by TI-1 and TII-2 DNA-adduct production, and results suggest that DNA adducts could be used as biomarker to assess BaP exposure by air pollution.
