The book reviews endogenous sources, methods of determining its levels in body fluid/tissues, the physiological roles of ROS, as well as its negative effects on the human reproductive processes. Also discussed are multiple extrinsic factors that could induce oxidative stress in the reproductive system. This brief covers various clinical pathologies related to the reproductive system that arise from or produce oxidative stress, both in the male and female. The use of antioxidants as a therapeutic measure to keep ROS levels in check are highlighted, describing the outcome of various clinical studies involving antioxidant supplementation in infertile patients. Infertility is a global disease that affects 15-25% of all couples, and oxidative stress arising from a multitude of sources has been implicated as one of the major contributing factors to the decline in human fertility. As such, this book provides an up-to-date review on the significance of ROS in human reproduction.SpringerBriefs in reproductive biology.Reproductive medicineOxidative stressEmbryologyReproductive Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H56002Oxidative Stresshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16070Embryologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L18010Reproductive medicine.Oxidative stress.Embryology.Reproductive Medicine.Oxidative Stress.Embryology.612.6Agarwal Ashokedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSharma Rakeshedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGupta Sajaledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHarlev Aviedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAhmad Gulfamedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtdu Plessis Stefan Sedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtEsteves Sandro Cedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtWang Siew Mayedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDurairajanayagam Damayanthiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910254649103321Oxidative Stress in Human Reproduction2518601UNINA
