Abstract

Sperm DNA and membrane are highly susceptible to reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are able to cause DNA fragmentation and membrane lipoperoxidation • Treatment with antioxidants represents a valid therapeutic option for male infertility, especially after the sperm ROS-induced damage has been ascertained • Several compounds with antioxidant properties have been developed • Founded on an evidence-based medicine criterion, vitamin C and E, carnitines and coezyme Q10 may be proposed as first-line treatment, while gluthatione, zinc, lycopene and myoinositol as second-line
