Effect of Myoinositol and Antioxidants on Sperm Quality in Men with Metabolic Syndrome
This prospective longitudinal study investigated the effects of a dietary supplement in patients affected by reduced sperm motility
(asthenospermic males) with metabolic syndrome. The product tested was Andrositol, which contains myoinositol (MI) as
principal compound, in association with other molecules, and the parameters evaluated were semen characteristics as well as
hormone and metabolic profiles. The inclusion criteria were subjects aged over 18 years, with asthenospermia and metabolic
syndrom...

Dietary fatty acids affect semen quality: a review
Mammalian spermatozoa are characterized by a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) which play a crucial role in
fertilization. This review focuses on analysis of sperm fatty acid profiles and the effects of omega-3, saturated and trans dietary and
sperm fatty acids on sperm parameters. Two major points have been pivotal points of investigation in the field of sperm fatty acid
profiles: first, the comparison between fatty acid profiles of fertile and infertile men and second, the effect of dietary fatty acids on
sperm ...

Comparing the Effectiveness of Dietary Vitamin C and Exercise Interventions on Fertility Parameters in Normal Obese Men
Purpose: Comparing the effectiveness of dietary vitamin C and weight loss exercises interventions for weight losson semen characteristics in normal obese man.
Materials and Methods: A total number of 200 men were randomly allocated into two groups based on body mass index, exercise and vitamin C groups. Also, 50 men with normal spermogram were placed in a control group.
In exercise group, a 6 months intensive exercise program was designed under a coach’s supervision ...

Antioxidants and Polyphenols: Concentrations and Relation to Male Infertility and Treatment Success
Oxidative stress is induced by reactive oxygen substances (ROS) that are known to affect male fertility.The aims of this study were
to prospectively investigate and characterize total antioxidant and specifically polyphenols concentrations and their relations to
sperm quality and fertility treatment success. During their infertility treatment, sixty-seven males were prospectively recruited
to this study. After separation of the sperm from the semen sample, the semen fluid samples antioxi...

Antioxidant supplements and semen parameters: An evidence based review
Many studies have focused on male infertility. There is limited evidence about the influence of nutrition on quality of semen. Approximately, 30-80% of infertility cases are caused by oxidative stress and decreased level of seminal total antioxidant capacity. This study was aimed to review the effects of oral antioxidant supplements on improving major semen parameters such as sperm concentration, motility, morphology, DNA damage, and fertility rate. Data were extracted from PubMed and Google scholar database by using the ...

Potential Benefits of Dietary Fibre Intervention in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Abstract: Intestinal dysbiosis is thought to be an important cause of disease progression and the gastrointestinal symptoms experienced in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Inflammation appears to be a major contributor in perpetuating a dysregulated gut microbiota. Although current drug therapies can significantly induce and maintain disease remission, there is no cure for these diseases. Nevertheless, ongoing human studies investigating dietary fibre interventions may potentially prove to ...

Do ginger-derived nanoparticles represent an attractive treatment strategy for inflammatory bowel diseases?
Inflammatory bowel disease treatment challenges Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a broad term that describes conditions with chronic,
recurring immune responses and inflammation of the GI tract, which result in severe abdominal cramping and diarrhea. The two
most common forms of IBD are ulcerative colitis (UC), in which inflammation affects the large intestine, and Crohn’s disease (CD),
in which the entire digestive tract is affected. IBD is most common in developed ...

Why Are Omics Technologies Important to Understanding the Role of Nutrition in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases?
Abstract: For many years, there has been confusion about the role that nutrition plays in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). It is apparent that good dietary advice for one individual may prove inappropriate for another. As with many diseases, genome-wide a ssociation studies across large collaborative groups have been important in revealing the role of genetics in IBD, with more than 200 genes associated with susceptibility to the disease. These associations provide clues to ...
