Abstract

The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in reproduction has long been the subject of investigation. As for other systems described in this book, there is compelling evidence for the involvement of ROS in physiology and pathology of both male and female reproductive systems. In this chapter, we will first briefly summarize informations linking ROS and the female reproductive functions, after which we will present in greater details the data in support for both the beneficial and detrimental effects of ROS on spermatozoa.
