Is Oxidative Stress in Semen Reduced by Lifestyle Intervention
Abstract
In this study we aim to investigate whether a 3-month life-style intervention would reduce oxidative stress (OS) in semen in men of infertile couples attending IVF-treatment. Men with a DFI above 15% (SCSA method) are recruited for intervention with a 3-month follow-up.
It is hypothesized that men who also have a OS above 1.34 using a novel OS diagnostic method (MiOXSYS) respond better to antioxidant treatment with a change in OS and DFI. The primary outcome is the change in OS following the intervention. Secondary outcomes are morphological semen parameters and DNA fragmentation index.
Conditions: Oligospermia.
Primary outcome: Oxidative stress.
Enrollment: 31 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 31 participants or records.
