In recent years, a number of studies focused on the role of epigenetics, including DNA
methylation, in spermatogenesis and male infertility. We aimed to provide an overview of the …

Obesity is a growing epidemic and a common problem among reproductive-age men that
can both cause and exacerbate male-factor infertility by means of endocrine abnormalities …

Background Infertility is a common reproductive disorder, with male factor infertility
accounting for approximately half of all cases. Taking a paternal perceptive, recent research …

For over 30 years, sperm morphology assessment has been one of the most common tests
in evaluation of fertility. This review examines the clinical relevance of sperm morphology …

Considering the widespread use of assisted reproductive techniques (ART), DNA
methylation of specific genes involved in spermatogenesis achieves increasingly clinical …

Numerous health consequences of tobacco smoke exposure have been characterized, and
the effects of smoking on traditional measures of male fertility are well described. However, a …

BACKGROUND Studies in non-human mammals suggest that environmental factors can
influence spermatozoal DNA methylation, and some research suggests that spermatozoal …

There is awareness of likelihood of abnormal spermatozoa in obese men; however, results
from previous studies are inconclusive. Advances in computer‐aided sperm analysis …

Background Prenatal exposure to phthalates has been associated with adverse health and
neurodevelopmental outcomes. DNA methylation (DNAm) alterations may be a mechanism …

DNA methylation analysis is becoming increasingly useful in biomedical research and
forensic practice. The discovery of differentially methylated sites (DMSs) that continuously …
