Test Code: T003
There is growing evidence to support a link between oxidative stress and male infertility and risk of miscarriage.
It is the underlying cause of sperm DNA damage and impairs semen parameters and fertilisation, adversely affects embryo development and is associated with reduced pregnancy rates. It may also increase the risk of miscarriage.
The test includes combined testing for:
-Chemiluminescence Assay for Reactive Oxygen Species
– MIOXSYS Electrochemical Assay for Redox Potential
