PURPOSE: The MiOXSYS system is a new technique to analyze the semen oxidative reduction potential (ORP) that may use to classify the level of sperm DNA integrity. It does not clearly explain how the semen ORP values could help to change the…

Reproductive medicine and biology ·doi:10.1002/rmb2.12491

BACKGROUND: Female fertility declines with age, due to increased chromosomal aneuploidy and possible reduced mitochondrial function in the embryo. METHODS: This review outlines how mitochondrial function in human embryos, as predicted from…
