Functional deficit of sperm and fertility impairment in men with antisperm antibodies

Highlights • Men with MAR-IgG ≥ 50% can be fertile but all MAR-IgG > 12% cases are outliers. • In normozoospermia, there are 16% cases of immune infertility. • ASA-positive infertile men have a higher rate of impaired AR and inducibility. • ASA-positive infertile men have a higher rate of DNA fra...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Men with MAR-IgG ≥ 50% can be fertile but all MAR-IgG > 12% cases are outliers. • In normozoospermia, there are 16% cases of immune infertility. • ASA-positive infertile men have a higher rate of impaired AR and inducibility. • ASA-positive infertile men have a higher rate of DNA fragmentation. • ASA-positive washed sperm cells produce higher ROS levels that depend on ASA levels.
