Effects of reactive oxygen species from activated leucocytes on human sperm motility, viability and morphology
20 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
The accumulated data suggest that inflammation can increase the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which contribute to impaired sperm function and male infertility. Therefore, we propose that inflammation-mediated production of ROS in male and female reproductive tracts hinder sperm fertilisation. To test this hypothesis, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) with polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) was applied to...
