In a longitudinal study over a period of 21 months, we demonstrated that seminal reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels are independent of sperm concentration, motility, and abstinence duration within a healthy sperm donor, although some variations were observed in ROS levels. We suggest that fluctuation in seminal ROS values may be related to physiologic or transient changes in spermatogenesis.

P-16: Antiapoptotic and Antioxidant Effect of Insulin Like Factor-3 on Sperm of Fertile Men After Cryopreservation

Background Freezing process has destructive effect on different functions of sperm. Therefore, sperm motility was reduced and apoptosis and DNA damage and also levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were increased. Insulin-like factor-3 (INSL3) is a member of Relaxin family and directly affects on spermatogenesis and also plays a protective role against apoptosis. Therefore, with due regard to...
