The factor that causes infertility in men is the number, quality and speed of sperm; Scientific studies have proven that only checking the number and movement parameters in sperm samples is insufficient. Sperm dysfunctions are the most important factors in fertilization. Oxidative stress and DNA damage come into play in the definition of male infertility and in the evaluation of functional insufficiency.
Oxidative stress; It is a condition in which the production of reactive oxygen species exceeds anti-oxidant levels and sperm cells are extremely sensitive to oxidative stress.
Reactive Oxidative Stress (ROS) damages sperm cells and its diagnosis is becoming increasingly important.
Oxidative stress causes rapid aging of cells. It is very difficult for damaged and aging cells to form quality embryos. In recurrent in vitro fertilization failures, the insufficiency of sperm gradually reduces the chance of pregnancy.
All these reasons lead to the use of sensors and methods to increase the effectiveness of the treatment in the applications recommended for those whose sperm count and quality are lower than expected in the tests and analyzes applied. It would be advantageous to determine ROS activity in sperm.
