| Abstract | Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by abnormal spermatozoa and white blood cells. They are highly unstable and difficult to measure. The end product of ROS are stable and easy to measure. High levels of ROS and low amounts of total antioxidants result in oxidative stress. High ROS levels can damage lipids, proteins and DNA in the cell. Accurate measurement of ROS or their end products is therefore important. This chapter describes various methods, both direct and indirect to measure ROS or their end products. |
