Journal ArticleDOI
Morphologically normal spermatozoa of patients with secretory oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia have an increased aneuploidy rate.
Nunziatina Burrello,Giuseppe Arcidiacono,Enzo Vicari,Paola Asero,Daniela Di Benedetto,Adele De Palma,Rosa Romeo,Rosario D'Agata,Aldo E. Calogero +8 more
TL;DR: The total aneuploidy rates of spermatozoa with normal or abnormal head shape from OAT patients were similar to each other and to that of abnormally shaped spermatozoon from normozoospermic men, but they were higher than the rate found in normally shaped spermutozoa of normal men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sperm of patients with severe asthenozoospermia show biochemical, molecular and genomic alterations.
Oriana Bonanno,Giulietta Romeo,Paola Asero,Franca Maria Pezzino,Roberto Castiglione,Nunziatina Burrello,G. Sidoti,Giovanni Vanni Frajese,Enzo Vicari,Rosario D'Agata +9 more
TL;DR: Patients with asthezoospermia likely present reduced fertilizing potential because of such composed abnormalities, and the most frequent association was found in patients with high ROS levels, increased mtDNA copy number and decreased integrity, and low MMP.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
High prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women.
Maria Altomare,S. La Vignera,Paola Asero,Domenico Recupero,Rosita A. Condorelli,P. Scollo,A. Gulisano,E. Magro,Dario Tumino,Salvatore Tumino,Enzo Vicari,V. Leanza,Rosario D'Agata,Aldo E. Calogero +13 more
TL;DR: The high prevalence of hypothyroidism observed in this study suggests that accurate thyroid screening with trimester specific reference ranges should be warranted, particularly in areas with mild to moderate iodine deficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relevance of genetic investigation in male infertility
Paola Asero,Aldo E. Calogero,Rosita A. Condorelli,Laura M. Mongioì,Enzo Vicari,F. Lanzafame,R. Crisci,S. La Vignera +7 more
TL;DR: Focus of this review is to discuss the main and more common genetic causes of male infertility to better direct the genetics investigation in the treatment of spermatogenic impairment.
