Attenuation of Oxidative Stress After Varicocelectomy in Subfertile Patients With Varicocele

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Subfertile patients with varicocele had a significant decrease in oxidative damage in sperm DNA and an increase in antioxidant capacity in seminal plasma after varicocelectomy, indicating that surgery is effective treatment in such patients.

Oxidative stress and male infertility—a clinical perspective

TL;DR: This review will provide an overview of oxidative biochemistry related to sperm health and identify which men are most at risk of oxidative infertility, and outline methods available for diagnosing oxidative stress and the various treatments available.

Varicocele and male factor infertility treatment: a new meta-analysis and review of the role of varicocele repair.

TL;DR: Although there is no conclusive evidence that a varicocele repair improves spontaneous pregnancy rates, varicocelectomy improves sperm parameters (count and total and progressive motility), reduces sperm DNA damage and seminal oxidative stress, and improves sperm ultramorphology.

Sperm DNA damage caused by oxidative stress: modifiable clinical, lifestyle and nutritional factors in male infertility.

TL;DR: DNA fragmentation is an important factor in the aetiology of male infertility, however it is still underevaluated and its inclusion in routine semen analysis is debated, and sources of oxidative stress should be thoroughly examined in men with high levels of DNA fragmentation and modified where possible.

Male Oxidative Stress Infertility (MOSI): Proposed Terminology and Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Idiopathic Male Infertility

Ashok Agarwal, +96 more
TL;DR: Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) can be a useful clinical biomarker for the classification of MOSI, as it takes into account the levels of both oxidants and reductants (antioxidants) and may provide a more targeted, reliable approach for administering antioxidant therapy while minimizing the risk of antioxidant overdose.

Relationship between oxidative stress, semen characteristics, and clinical diagnosis in men undergoing infertility investigation

TL;DR: Irrespective of the clinical diagnosis and semen characteristics, the presence of seminal oxidative stress in infertile men suggests its role in the pathophysiology of infertility.

Assays of oxidative DNA damage biomarkers 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine and 8-oxoguanine in nuclear DNA and biological fluids by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection.

TL;DR: The quantitative approach may allow one to estimate oxidative DNA damage in an animal or individual exposed to prooxidant conditions associated with lifestyle, genetic predisposition, degenerative diseases, or environmental toxins by estimating the rate of oxidative DNA damaged within the body or in a population of cells.

Assessment of efficacy of varicocele repair for male subfertility: a systematic review

TL;DR: Varicocele repair does not seem to be an effective treatment for male or unexplained subfertility and may have had insufficient power to detect small effects because of the small number of patients in some subgroups.
