Sperm redox biology challenges the role of antioxidants as a treatment for male factor infertility

2021-12-09

Abstract excerpt

In spite of inconclusive or negative outcomes from clinical studies, oral antioxidants are still largely prescribed to infertile men to improve sperm motility and/or reduce sperm DNA damage, on the basis of the assumption that it is an oxidative damage and it will be corrected by antioxidants. We aimed to challenge this view by examining the available experimental evidence. The regulation of sperm motility may suf...
