The coverage also includes discussion of pathophysiology, the molecular basis of male infertility, and the rationale for use of antioxidants, with particular attention to coenzyme Q10 and carnitine. Oxidative stress occurs when the production of reactive oxygen species, including free radicals, exceeds the body?s natural antioxidant defences, leading to cellular damage. Oxidative stress is present in about half of all infertile men, and reactive oxygen species can produce infertility both by damaging the sperm membrane, with consequences for sperm motility, and by altering the sperm DNA. There is consequently a clear rationale for the use of antioxidant treatments within andrology, and various in vitro and in vivo studies have indicated that many antioxidants indeed have beneficial impacts. In providing a detailed and up-to-date overview of the subject, this book will be of interest to both practitioners and researchers in andrology, endocrinology, and urology. 410 0$aTrends in Andrology and Sexual Medicine,$x2367-0096 606 $aUrology 606 $aEndocrinology 606 $aUrology 606 $aEndocrinology 615 0$aUrology. 615 0$aEndocrinology. 615 14$aUrology. 615 24$aEndocrinology. 676 $a613.286 702 $aBalercia$b Giancarlo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGandini$b Loredana$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLenzi$b Andrea$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLombardo$b Francesco$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155302003321 996 $aAntioxidants in Andrology$91551272 997 $aUNINA
