Exogenous melatonin supplementation prevents oxidative stress‐evoked <scp>DNA</scp> damage in human spermatozoa

Abstract excerpt

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for sperm physiological functions such as capacitation, hyperactivation, and acrosome reaction, on the one hand, and for stimulating the apoptotic processes involved in the regulation of spermatogenesis, on the other hand. However, the imbalance between production and removal of ROS leads to oxidative stress, which is referred to as one of the main factors involved in...
