Purpose: Prior sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) thresholds for diagnosing male infertility and predicting assisted reproduction technology (ART) outcomes fluctuated between 15 and 30%, with no agreed standard. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the sperm DFI on early embryonic development during ART treatments and establish appropriate DFI cut-off values.

Methods: Retrospectively analyzed 913 couple's ART cycles from 2021 to 2022, encompassing 1,476 IVF and 295 ICSI cycles, following strict criteria.

Effect of Hepatitis E Virus on the Male Reproductive System: A Review of Current Evidence.

Viruses

January 2025

Department of Biomedical & Nutritional Sciences, Zuckerberg College of Health Sciences, University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, MA 01854, USA.

Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) is a globally widespread pathogen that causes acute hepatitis infection. Beyond hepatic pathogenesis, HEV has been proven to cause several extrahepatic manifestations, such as neurological, renal, and hematological manifestations. It was also associated with mortality in pregnant females.

Genome-Wide microRNA Expression Profiling in Human Spermatozoa and Its Relation to Sperm Quality.

Genes (Basel)

January 2025

Institute for Regenerative Medicine and Biotherapy (IRMB), University of Montpellier, INSERM, CHU Montpellier, 34295 Montpellier, France.

Background: Sperm samples are separated into bad and good quality samples in function of their phenotype, but this does not indicate their genetic quality.

Methods: Here, we used GeneChip miRNA arrays to analyze microRNA expression in ten semen samples selected based on high-magnification morphology (score 6 vs. score 0) to identify miRNAs linked to sperm phenotype.

Effects of Essential Oils as Antioxidant and Cryoprotective Agents in Improving Frozen and Thawed Human Sperm Criteria.

Antioxidants (Basel)

January 2025

Reproductive Medicine, Reproductive Biology and Genetics, Peritox Laboratory, University Hospital and School of Medicine, Picardie University Jules Verne, 80054 Amiens, France.

Sperm cryopreservation provides patients undergoing oncological, surgical, or infertility treatments the opportunity to conceive their own children, using assisted reproductive technologies. However, the freezing-thawing process can negatively influence both the quantity and the quality of spermatozoa, mainly due to an excessive production of reactive oxygen species and/or an impaired antioxidant defense system in sperm. Aromatic and medicinal plants synthesize essential oils with antioxidant proprieties as a part of their ecological adaptation to environmental stress, thanks to their rich bioactive phytochemical components.
