Camellia oil with its rich in fatty acids enhances post-thawed boar sperm quality
BackgroundBoar sperm are highly susceptible to specific conditions during cryopreservation, leading to a significant decrease in their fertilizing...
-
Effect of season on the dynamics of cat sperm DNA fragmentation
BackgroundFeline species undergo reproductive seasonality; thus, sperm characteristics, such as DNA integrity, can be affected by the photoperiod....

The role of oral antioxidants in the improvement of sperm parameters in infertile men
PurposeA variety of pathologic conditions may increase oxidative stress in semen resulting in structural modifications to spermozoa’s plasma membrane...
-
In cases with raised sperm DNA fragmentation, can sperm selection by magnetic-activated cell sorting or testicular sperm aspiration help improve reproductive outcomes?
PurposeTo evaluate the efficacy of magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) or testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) to improve reproductive outcomes in...
