Oxidative stress (OS) is established as a key factor in the etiology of both male and female infertility, arising from an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production endogenous antioxidant (AOX) defenses. In men, OS adversely affects sperm function by inducing DNA damage, reducing motility, significantly impairing vitality through plasma membrane peroxidation loss integrity, ultimately compromising overall quality. women, implicated various reproductive disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, premature ovarian failure, leading to diminished oocyte quality, disrupted folliculogenesis, poorer outcomes. Antioxidant therapy represents promising intervention mitigate harmful effects ROS on health additions its easy accessibility, safety, low cost. Despite several findings suggesting improvements fertility potential with AOX therapy, data remains inconclusive regarding optimal dosage combination, duration treatment, specific patient populations most likely benefit. this review, we discuss role AOXs management infertile couples, focusing their biological mechanisms, adverse effects, therapeutic efficacy, clinical applications improving outcomes natural conception medically assisted reproduction. Additionally, highlight current practice patterns recommendations for supplementation during course infertility treatment. Further, provide overview limitations research topic insights future studies establish standardized regimens assess long-term impact such live birth rates miscarriage rates.

The ability to reproduce depends on metabolic status. In rodents, the ventral premammillary nucleus (PMv) integrates and reproductive signals. While leptin (adiposity-related) signaling in PMv is critical for female fertility, male functions are strongly influenced by glucose homeostasis. anorexigenic peptide nesfatin-1 a leptin-independent central regulator of blood glucose. Therefore, its integrative role rats can be assumed. To investigate this, we mapped distribution mRNA- protein-producing cells during postnatal development via situ hybridization immunohistochemistry, respectively. Fos-nesfatin-1, double immunostaining was used determine combined effect heterosexual pheromone challenge insulin-induced hypoglycemia neuronal activation adults. We found that ~75% pheromone-activated neurons were cells. Hypoglycemia reduced pheromone-induced cell activation, particularly neurons. Immuno-electron microscopy revealed innervation urocortin3-immunoreactive terminals, reportedly originating from medial amygdala. Nesfatin-1 immunopositive expressed GPR10 mRNA, receptor associated with signaling, but did not respond accumulation phosphorylated STAT3 immunopositivity, marker response intracerebroventricular treatment. Our results suggest primarily responsible integrating rats.

Inflammation, infections, and oxidative stress (OS) all have an impact on male infertility, which is a complicated, multifaceted illness. OS affects motility fertilization capability. It accomplishes this through damaging sperm DNA, oxidizing proteins, triggering lipid peroxidation. These effects occur due to imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) antioxidant defenses. This review aims evaluate the of inflammation infertility by assessing recent literature. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, like TNF-α IL-6, interfere with spermatogenesis promote damage. Additionally, infections caused pathogens Escherichia coli Chlamydia trachomatis alter reproductive microenvironment, leading dysfunction inflammation. Early detection targeted treatment are essential intricate interactions among these elements. Microbiota-modulating techniques, antimicrobial therapies, anti-inflammatory drugs, antioxidants therapeutic approaches that may help reduce damage enhance fertility.
