Assessment of oxidative stress in men with normozoospermia and oligoasthenozoospermia

The male reproductive system is one of the most vulnerable systems in the body and is exposed to many negative factors that affect the endocrine glands, central nervous system, and gonads, thereby causing dystrophic changes in the seminiferous tubules and testicular interstitial tissue. In 7-8% of cases, infertility is caused by low semen quality. Hyperproduction of reactive oxygen species is believed to be one of the factors reducing male fertility.
