During recent years, an increasing percentage of male infertility has to be attributed to an
array of environmental, health and lifestyle factors. Male infertility is likely to be affected by …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated at low levels during mitochondrial respiration
have key roles in several signaling pathways. Oxidative stress (OS) arises when the …

Obesity is highly prevalent, and its incidence is increasing. The previous study showing a
major effect of paternal obesity on metabolic health of offspring is confounded by …

Varicocele, a cause of male infertility, occurs in nearly 40% of infertile males. It has been
postulated that varicoceles may cause sperm DNA damage. Sperm DNA integrity has been …

BACKGROUND Obesity and related conditions, notably subfertility, are increasingly
prevalent. Paternal influences are known to influence offspring health outcome, but the …

Background Cytogenetic studies have demonstrated that low levels of chronic radiation
exposure can potentially increase the frequency of chromosomal aberrations and …

DNA integrity is considered an important parameter of semen quality and is of significant
value as a predictor of male fertility. Currently, there are several methods that can assess …

There is evidence from retrospective studies that varicocelectomy can improve sperm DNA
damage in infertile men with a clinical varicocele. The objective of this prospective study was …

With increasing evidence for faulty paternal contribution to reproduction, there has been a
steady increase in studies highlighting an association between sperm DNA damage …

Objective: To discuss the recent literature on paternal obesity, focusing on the possible
mechanisms of transmission of the phenotypes from the father to the children. Sources: A …
