Antioxidants modulation of sperm genome and epigenome damage: Fact or fad? Converging evidence from animal and human studies
Publication date: June 2018Source: Middle East Fertility Society Journal, Volume 23, Issue 2Author(s): Fadi Choucair, Elias Saliba, Imad Abou Jaoude, Mira HazzouriAbstractIncreasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of sperm DNA damage. Oxidative stress was also recently found to modulate the epigenetic make up of sperm. Along these lines, a growing body of evidence in both experimental and clinical studies has implicated several regimens of antioxidants, by oral administration or in vitro supplementation to sperm-preparation media, in improving various sperm parameters namely D...
