Influence of all‐trans retinoic acid on sperm metabolism and oxidative stress: Its involvement in the physiopathology of varicocele‐associated male infertility
26 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms by which varicocele affects fertility remain undetermined. Vitamin A (all-trans retinoic acid [ATRA]) is required for fertility and normal spermatogenesis; however, the mechanisms driving its action are not defined yet. Previously, we demonstrated in varicocele sperm a reduced RARα expression and that ATRA influence sperm performance. To further define vitamin A significance in male gamete and in...
