| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the seminal plasma 8-isoprostane, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and levels of sperm DNA fragmentation in elite athletes and recreationally active men. DESIGN: Prospective design was used for this study. SETTING: The study was performed in the Exercise Physiology Laboratory of the Urmia University. PARTICIPANTS: Fifty-six elite athletes and 52 recreationally active men (18-28 years) participated in this study. INTERVENTION: All subjects had a semen sampling at baseline. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Total antioxidant capacity and SOD activity were measured by colorimetric assay. Levels of ROS were measured by a chemiluminescence assay. Malondialdehyde levels were measured by thiobarbituric acid reactive substance assay. Catalase activity was measured by monitoring the initial rate of disappearance of hydrogen peroxide. Concentration of free 8-isoprostane was measured by enzyme immunoassay method. Sperm DNA fragmentation was evaluated with the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated fluorescein dUTP nick end-labeling assay. RESULTS: Recreationally active men have significantly higher levels of body fat, seminal SOD, TAC, and catalase and lower levels of V[Combining Dot Above]O2max, seminal ROS, MDA, and 8-isoprostane and subsequently lower rate of sperm DNA fragmentation when compared with elite athletes (P < 0.001). Significantly negative correlation was observed between sperm DNA fragmentation with body fat, seminal SOD, catalase, and TAC levels (P < 0.001). Significantly positive correlation was observed between sperm DNA fragmentation with V[Combining Dot Above]O2max, seminal 8-isoprostane, ROS, and MDA levels (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Spermatozoa from recreationally active men may be less susceptible to oxidative stress-induced DNA damage and hence infertility. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
