Effectiveness of acupuncture for asthenozoospermia

Medicine, 2021
Abstract Background: According to the World Health Organization, the global incidence of infertility is about 15%, and more than 50% of infertility cases are caused by male infertility. Asthenozoospermia is caused by male fertility decline and male infertility.

Loss‐of‐Function Variants in CCDC189 Cause Human Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia by Disrupting Sperm Flagellar and Acrosomal Architecture

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), characterized by reduced sperm count, impaired motility, and abnormal morphology, is a major cause of male infertility with substantial genetic heterogeneity. However, the underlying genetic etiology remains unresolved in a large proportion of affected individuals.

Integrated proteomics identifies a dysfunctional acrosomal module associated with impaired acrosome reaction in asthenozoospermia [PDF]

Journal of Men's Health
Background: Asthenozoospermia, a primary cause of male infertility, is characterized not only by reduced sperm motility, but also by functional impairments, particularly defects in the acrosome reaction.

Improving ARTs: Microfluidics as a Tool for Sperm Selection

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sperm selection is a critical step in assisted reproductive technology (ART), as sperm quality directly influences embryo quality. In vivo, the female reproductive tract imposes several physical and physiological barriers that favors only the most optimal spermatozoa reaching the fertilization site.

Relationship between sperm progressive motility and DNA integrity in fertile and infertile men

Middle East Fertility Society Journal, 2018
Background: Progressive sperm motility was found to be predictive for in vitro and in vivo fertilization. There has been an increase in the literature of studies investigating whether DNA fragmentation could be associated with other semen parameters ...

Obesity Is an Independent Risk Factor for Oligozoospermia, With Co‐Existing Hyperglycemia Exacerbating Risks of Asthenozoospermia and Elevated Sperm DNA Fragmentation

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Metabolic health plays a critical role in maintaining male fertility and may influence offspring health. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate metabolic indicators into the clinical assessment of male fertility. However, the relationships between different metabolic abnormalities and semen quality remain incompletely understood.

CD147 deficiency is associated with impairedsperm motility/acrosome reaction and offersa therapeutic target for asthenozoospermia

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2021
Patients with asthenozoospermia often present multiple defects in sperm functions apart from a decrease in sperm motility. However, the etiological factors underlying these multifaceted defects remain mostly unexplored, which may lead to unnecessary ...

Biallelic Truncating Variant in LRGUK Is Associated With Severe Multiple Morphological Abnormalities of the Sperm Flagella and Sperm Nuclear Defects in Humans

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
A homozygous truncating variant in LRGUK results in loss of the LRGUK protein and causes multiple morphological abnormalities of the flagella (MMAF), disrupted axonemal architecture, central pair defects, abnormal chromatin organization, and severe male infertility, establishing LRGUK as a novel human infertility gene.

GSK3α‐mediated regulation of the RNA demethylase fat mass and obesity‐associated protein (FTO) during murine spermatogenesis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
FTO regulates mRNA stability and translational efficiency through its m6A‐demethylation activity. GSK3 functions as an upstream regulator of FTO, leading to its inhibition via phosphorylation. In male germ cells, FTO activity is kept in check by GSK3α.
