Journal ArticleDOI

Diabetes Mellitus and Sperm Parameters

TL;DR: The main sperm parameters in patients with diabetes mellitus are shown and the mechanisms hypothesized to explain the changes observed in these patients are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex-Specific SARS-CoV-2 Mortality: Among Hormone-Modulated ACE2 Expression, Risk of Venous Thromboembolism and Hypovitaminosis D.

TL;DR: Evidence that sex hormones are able to modulate the expression of ACE2 could help in interpreting epidemiological results and in designing more appropriate intervention strategies, according to the recent evidence of an increased frequency of venous thromboembolism in patients with COVID-19.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cigarette smoke extract immobilizes human spermatozoa and induces sperm apoptosis.

TL;DR: Since transmission of smoking-induced sperm DNA alterations has been found in pre-implantation embryos, and this may predispose offspring to a greater risk of malformations, cancer and genetic diseases, men seeking to father a child are recommended to give up smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Male accessory gland infection and sperm parameters (review).

TL;DR: It is shown that all components involving the inflammatory response can deteriorate conventional and/or non-conventional sperm parameters arising from one or more of the following mechanisms: altered secretory function of the epididymis, seminal vesicles, and prostate which reduce the antioxidant properties or scavenging role of the seminal plasma; deterioration of spermatogenesis.
