Aytu BioScience Inc. has two new posters that exhibit the use of the MiOXSYS System, a tool developed by the company for determining oxidative stress in human semen.
The importance of this tool is in that it can aid in identifying male infertility and trace its origins. It can also help in improving the semen quality and increasing fertility.
The first poster is entitled Role of Oxidation-Reduction Potential in Varicocele Associated Infertility. Presented by Mohamen Arafa from the Urology Department of HMC in Doha, Qatar. Its conclusion is that ORP plays a role in the pathophysiology of varicocele associated infertility, and that treatments targeting ORP reduction may potentially improve semen quality in these patients.
The second poster is titled Involvement of Oxidation-Reduction Potential in the Pathophysiology of Male Infertility in Patients with Varicocele. Presented by Ashok Agarwal, director of the Andrology Center and American Center for Reproductive Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, its result showed that both sperm parameters and ORP values distinguished infertile patients with varicocele from normal healthy men. The elevated ORP levels further support the role of OS as an underlying mechanism of infertility in varicocele patients.
