Journal ArticleDOI

Study of apoptotic DNA fragmentation in human spermatozoa

Loredana Gandini, +7 more
- 01 Apr 2000 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that apoptosis could be the final result of various pathologies and of a deregulation of spermatogenesis control systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Full‐term pregnancies achieved with ICSI despite high levels of sperm chromatin damage

Loredana Gandini, +10 more
- 01 Jun 2004 - 
TL;DR: There is still controversy over whether analytical techniques currently in use are able to identify the level of damage to spermatozoa and large-scale studies should be conducted in different clinical settings to determine the effects of sperm DNA damage on the outcome of ART.
Journal ArticleDOI

Placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over trial of glutathione therapy in male infertility.

Andrea Lenzi, +4 more
- 01 Oct 1993 - 
TL;DR: It is indicated that glutathione therapy could represent a possible therapeutical tool for both of the selected andrological pathologies and demonstrate a statistically significant positive effect on sperm motility.
Journal ArticleDOI

A placebo-controlled double-blind randomized trial of the use of combined l-carnitine and l-acetyl-carnitine treatment in men with asthenozoospermia.

Andrea Lenzi, +8 more
- 01 Jun 2004 - 
TL;DR: Combined treatment with l-carnitine and l-acetyl-c Carnitine in a controlled study of efficacy was effective in increasing sperm motility, especially in groups with lower baseline levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of carnitine therapy in selected cases of male factor infertility: a double-blind crossover trial

Andrea Lenzi, +6 more
- 01 Feb 2003 - 
TL;DR: Based on a controlled study of efficacy, L-carnitine therapy was effective in increasing semen quality, especially in groups with lower baseline levels, however, these results need to be confirmed by larger clinical trials and in vitro studies.
