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.

Role of reactive oxygen species in male infertility.

TL;DR: From the current data it appears that no single adjuvant will be able to enhance the fertilizing capacity of sperm in infertile men, and a combination of the possible strategies that are not toxic at the dosage used would be a feasible approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical relevance of oxidative stress in male factor infertility: an update.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the need of ROS in normal sperm physiology, the mechanism of production of ROS and its pathophysiology in relation to male reproductive system and highlight the emerging concept of utilizing ROS as a method of contraception and the potential problems associated with it.

Generation of reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation, and human sperm function.

TL;DR: Results are consistent with a causative role for lipid peroxidation in the etiology of defective sperm function and also suggest a possible physiological role for the reactive oxygen species generated by human spermatozoa in mediating sperm-zona interaction.
