Abstract

An increasing trend in parental age has been observed, together with this increase there is a growing risk for perinatal problems. One theory for this growing risk is the free radical theory. This states that there is a build-up of oxidative stress due to free radicals as humans age. This can have serious effects on male fertility, the main cause for male infertility is impaired spermatogenesis. Spermatogenesis is a cell differentiation process by which spermatogonial stem cells develop and differentiate into mature spermatozoa. This complex process is disturbed by various factors, the main factor being oxidative stress. For this review, literature has been researched in order to provide an overview on the role of oxidative stress on the spermatogenesis process with a focus on spermiogenesis and how oxidative stress can be measured with a novel technique, diamond magnetometry
