TLDR
Spermatozoa need small amounts of ROS to acquire the ability of nuclear maturation regulation and condensation to fertilize the oocyte, indicating that oxidative stress is one of the main cause of DNA damage in the germ cells, then there should be good reason for antioxidant therapy in these conditions.Abstract:
Sperm is particularly susceptible to reactive oxygen species (ROS) during critical phases of spermiogenesis. However, the level of seminal ROS is restricted by seminal antioxidants which have beneficial effects on sperm parameters and developmental potentials. Mitochondria and sperm plasma membrane are two major sites of ROS generation in sperm cells. Besides, leukocytes including polymer phonuclear (PMN) leukocytes and macrophages produce broad category of molecules including oxygen free radicals, non-radical species and reactive nitrogen species. Physiological role of ROS increase the intracellular cAMP which then activate protein kinase in male reproductive system. This indicates that spermatozoa need small amounts of ROS to acquire the ability of nuclear maturation regulation and condensation to fertilize the oocyte. There is a long list of intrinsic and extrinsic factors which can induce oxidative stress to interact with lipids, proteins and DNA molecules. As a result, we have lipid peroxidation, DNA fragmentation, axonemal damage, denaturation of the enzymes, over generation of superoxide in the mitochondria, lower antioxidant activity and finally abnormal spermatogenesis. If oxidative stress is considered as one of the main cause of DNA damage in the germ cells, then there should be good reason for antioxidant therapy in these conditions.read more

Effect of D-Limonene on the Age-Related Androgenic Changes in Male Rats
TL;DR: Add limonene to the diet of old age men and those who exposed to chronic stress in their lives to save, to some extent, their androgenic capacity which may help in treating many cases of male infertility.

Peroxiredoxin 4 directly affects the male fertility outcome in porcine.
TL;DR: This is the first study to comprehensively elucidate the role of all isoforms of PRDXs on male fertility to the best of the authors' knowledge, and suggests PRDX 4 marker allowed the highest accuracy for male fertility prediction and diagnosis, leading to a measurable improvement in the male fertility outcome.

Punicalagin ameliorates spermatological parameters in bisphenol A treated New Zealand White Rabbits
TL;DR: Positive effects of punicalagin suggested that it can be used to reduce or prevent the possible toxic effects of BPA on testicular tissue and spermatogenesis and the possible protective effects of this natural antioxidant in male New Zealand rabbits against oral BPA were investigated.

Single injection of very mild dose botulinum toxin in the vastus lateralis improves testicular spermatogenesis and sperm motility in ageing experimental mice
Risna Kanjirassery Radhakrishnan,Sowbarnika Ravichandran,Aishwarya Sukesh,Balamuthu Kadalmani,Mahesh Kandasamy +4 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors revisited the effect of BoNT, but with a trace amount injected into the vastus lateralis of the thigh muscle, and analyzed histological parameters of the testis, levels of key antioxidants and sperm parameters in ageing experimental mice.

TL;DR: It is suggested that increased oxidative stress in accumulated fat is an early instigator of metabolic syndrome and that the redox state in adipose tissue is a potentially useful therapeutic target for obesity-associated metabolic syndrome.
