Diagnostic value of the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in human seminal plasma.
OBJECTIVE To establish cutoff value, sensitivity, specificity and intra- and interobserver variability of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in seminal plasma from healthy donors (controls) and infertile patients. DESIGN Seminal plasma from proven fertile donors (n = 55), nonproven fertile donors (n = 45), and infertile patients (n = 42) were examined for TAC level. SETTING Reproductive resea...
متن کاملNitric Oxide Levels and Total Antioxidant Capacity in The Seminal Plasma of Infertile Smoking Men
OBJECTIVE Cigarette is a rich source of oxidants and reactive nitrogen species. Nitric oxide (NO) in high concentration has deleterious effects on human sperm function. Antioxidant defense system in seminal plasma protects spermatozoa from the attack of reactive oxygen metabolites. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between cigarette smoking with the NO levels and the to...
متن کاملAntioxidant capacity of seminal plasma measured by TAS Randox.
BACKGROUND An imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in sperm and antioxidant capacity of seminal plasma has been linked to male infertility. The antioxidant power of biological fluids can be evaluated either by measurement of individual antioxidants or total antioxidant capacity (TAC). The aim of this study was to assess whether TAS Randox can also be used for seminal plasm...

متن کاملEnhanced chemiluminescence assay vs colorimetric assay for measurement of the total antioxidant capacity of human seminal plasma.
Although the enhanced chemiluminescence assay is commonly used to measure the nonenzymatic total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of the human seminal plasma, it is cumbersome, expensive, and time-consuming. We describe herein an alternate method to measure TAC that is based on the ability of antioxidants in seminal plasma to interfere with a reaction between 2,2'-azino-di-[3-ethylbenzthiazoline sulp...
