Indicators of the Lipid Peroxidation-Antioxidant Protection System as Important Metabolic Markers of Reproductive Potential in Men.

We analyze results of recent studies demonstrating unfavorable state of the reproductive health in the male population that manifested not only in spermatogenesis deterioration, but also in oxidative stress (both systemic and in seminal fluid). The data on the effect of ROS and components of the antioxidant defense system on gamete quality in men with infertility associated with obesity and diabetes mellitus are presented. Some features of oxidative stress in men of reproductive age of various ethnic groups are shown. Evaluation of the parameters of oxidative stress provides new insight into the molecular mechanisms of functional activity of the semen and may become a promising direction for the development of new methodological recommendations for personalized diagnosis, prevention, and correction of reproductive disorders in men.
