SPRINGERBRIEFS IN REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY STRATE...

This book discusses the various antioxidants that are in use to overcome oxidative stress in an
assisted reproduction setting. Antioxidant therapies may range from enzymatic and non-enzymatic
antioxidants  either alone or in combination. While no one antioxidant regime has been
identified as effective in improving fertilization and pregnancy rates  antioxidant
supplementation has been shown to defend sperm cells from lipid peroxidation and oxidative
damage to DNA  and thus improve pregnancy rates. The prevention of oxidative stress and its
consequent damage is imperative to ensure a successful outcome of the in vitro fertilization
procedure and embryo transfer. Strategies that could be employed to minimize or prevent the
detrimental effects of OS during assisted reproduction include supplementation with various
types of antioxidants.
