Transient Complete Asthenozoospermia
Journal of Human Reproductive SciencesLimited research exists on the mechanisms underlying asthenozoospermia associated with acquired ciliary dyskinesia. Primary ciliary dyskinesia links respiratory pathology with infertility and provides a basis for a potential mechanism.

DEFB126 polymorphisms and association with idiopathic asthenozoospermia in China
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2022 Idiopathic asthenozoospermia, a common factor in male infertility, is characterized by altered sperm motility function in fresh ejaculate. Although the β-defensin 126 (DEFB126) protein is associated with asthenozoospermia, DEFB126 gene polymorphisms have

The mechanism of oxidative stress in asthenozoospermia and antioxidant strategies: a review. [PDF]
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)Asthenozoospermia, a leading cause of male infertility, is closely associated with oxidative stress (OS), which reflects an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant capacity. ROS originate from both endogenous sources (e.
