The well-documented relationship between sperm oxidation and male infertility strongly encourages the development of assays for reactive oxygen species detection in semen samples. The present study aims to apply the microplate-based 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate assay to the evaluation of oxidative stress in unprocessed whole semen, thus avoiding sample centrifugations and other manipulations that may cause significant reactive oxygen species increments.

Abstract

The well-documented relationship between sperm oxidation and male infertility strongly encourages the development of assays for reactive oxygen species detection in semen samples. The present study aims to apply the microplate-based 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate assay to the evaluation of oxidative stress in unprocessed whole semen, thus avoiding sample centrifugations and other manipulations that may cause significant reactive oxygen species increments.
