Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical relevance of oxidative stress in male factor infertility: an update.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the need of ROS in normal sperm physiology, the mechanism of production of ROS and its pathophysiology in relation to male reproductive system and highlight the emerging concept of utilizing ROS as a method of contraception and the potential problems associated with it.
Journal Article
Oxidative stress & male infertility
TL;DR: The mechanism of production and the pathophysiology of ROS in relation to the male reproductive system are highlighted and the benefits of incorporating antioxidants in clinical and experimental settings are enumerated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic waves (RF-EMW) from cellular phones on human ejaculated semen: an in vitro pilot study
Ashok Agarwal,Nisarg R Desai,Kartikeya Makker,Alex C. Varghese,Rand Mouradi,Edmund Sabanegh,Rakesh Sharma +6 more
TL;DR: Radiofrequency electromagnetic waves emitted from cell phones may lead to oxidative stress in human semen and speculate that keeping the cell phone in a trouser pocket in talk mode may negatively affect spermatozoa and impair male fertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell phones and male infertility: dissecting the relationship.
TL;DR: Preliminary studies suggest a possible link between cell phone use and infertility, and the mode of action of EMW emitted from cell phones on the male reproductive system is still unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiologic and pathologic levels of reactive oxygen species in neat semen of infertile men
TL;DR: Reactive oxygen species levels in neat semen samples as measured by luminol-based chemiluminescence are a highly specific and sensitive test in the diagnosis of infertility and may help clinicians treat patients with seminal oxidative stress.
