Journal ArticleDOI
Paternal obesity: how bad is it for sperm quality and progeny health?
TL;DR: Modifications of hormonal profiles namely reduced androgen levels and elevated estrogen levels, were found associated with lower sperm concentration and seminal volume, and oxidative stress in testis may induce an increase of the percentage of sperm with DNA fragmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cryopreservation media differentially affect sperm motility, morphology and DNA integrity.
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to compare five commercially available sperm cryopreservation media, which have not been compared together, in terms of motility, morphology and DNA integrity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adverse effects of paternal obesity on the motile spermatozoa quality.
Georges Raad,Joseph Azouri,Kamal Rizk,N. Zeidan,Jessica Azouri,Valérie Grandjean,Mira Hazzouri +6 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the motile sperm-enriched fraction from obese men exhibited higher levels of retained histones, elevated percentage of altered chromatin integrity, and decreased contents of 5-hmC and 5-mC levels as compared to that from lean men.
Journal ArticleDOI
High level of DNA fragmentation in sperm of Lebanese infertile men using Sperm Chromatin Dispersion test
Fadi B. Choucair,Eliane G. Rachkidi,Georges Raad,Elias M. Saliba,N. Zeidan,Rania Jounblat,Imad F. Abou Jaoude,Mira Hazzouri +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that sperm DNA fragmentation is correlated with alterations in sperm parameters: count, motility and morphology, and is suggested to be associated with tobacco and environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidants modulation of sperm genome and epigenome damage: Fact or fad? Converging evidence from animal and human studies
TL;DR: The conclusion is not very conclusive, but it opens an avenue to investigate the fortifying effect of antioxidants on sperm cells, and serves as a promising route for embodying the possibility of “normalization” and restoration of some offspring health cues.
