“…Our data were in agreement with previous data that showed in vitro antioxidant supplement leads to less DNA damage (Talevi et al., ). Results of other researcher also revealed that in vitro treatment of selenium can increase antioxidant activity and reduce DNA damage in frozen spermatozoa (Dorostkar et al., ; Rezaeian et al., ).…”

“…So, the presence of antioxidant and proteins to protect vital molecules from dangerous effect of excessive ROS is necessary in semen and spermatozoa (Agarwal, Prabakaran, & Said, ). Selenium is an essential element in many vital proteins and enzymes that have important role in spermatogenesis and male fertility (Rezaeian et al., ). Selenium deficiency is associated with decreased sperm motility, instability of the mitochondrial midpiece and morphological abnormalities (Agarwal, Kashou, & Sekhon, ).…”

Sperm DNA damage, excessive oxidative stress and decrease in motility ‎may lead to low fertilisation or poor‎ assisted reproductive techniques outcomes in asthenoteratozoospermic ‎men. Selenium was considered as essential element for male reproductive functions. Selenium has important role in enzymatic process for elimination of excessive reactive oxygen species and helps to maintain membrane integrity. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of selenium supplementation on sperm quality, DNA fragmentation, mitochondrial membrane potential and membrane lipid peroxidation during sperm sampling in vitro at different times. In this experimental study, semen samples were collected from 50 asthenoteratozoospermic men. Samples were divided into two groups as control group and test group (incubated with 2 μg/ml selenium at 37°C for 2, 4 and 6 hr). Motility and viability were assessed based on WHO 2010 criteria. Mitochondrial membrane potential, sperm DNA fragmentation and malondialdehyde levels were evaluated in each group. Results revealed that motility, viability and mitochondrial membrane potential were significantly higher in the test group (p < .05). Also malondialdehyde levels were significantly lower in the test group (p < .03). DNA fragmentation significantly decreased in the test group after 6 hr of incubation (p < .02). In conclusion, in vitro selenium supplementation may protect spermatozoa from maltreatment effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during sperm sampling via keeping enzymatic and antioxidant process in optimum condition.

“…Some researchers reported that when selenium was added to the rations of the goats (Shi, Yang, et al, ), sperm motility did not change, while Shi, Zhang, et al () reported that they increased sperm motility in their sperm by adding short‐term selenium to the ration. Rezaeian et al () found that selenium increases sperm motility in human sperm. Safa, Moghaddam, Jozani, Kia, and Janmohammadi () found that there was an increase in total and progressive sperm motility when they applied 5 g/ml vitamin E and 1% nano‐selenium to the rooster.…”

The effects of vitamin E and vitamin E‐selenium combination on seminal plasma arginase activity and nitric oxide level and some spermatological properties in rams were investigated in this study. For control group, animals were injected intramuscularly with physiological saline. For vitamin E group, rams were injected intramuscularly with 300 mg/ram vitamin E. For vitamin E + selenium group, animals were injected intramuscularly with 5 ml/ram vitamin E + selenium. The semen was collected by artificial vagina at 1st, 4th, 24th, 48th and 72nd hr after administration in each group. Significant decreases in seminal plasma arginase activity (at 1st, 24th and 48th hr), nitric oxide level (at 72nd hr) and abnormal sperm rate (at 1st, 24th and 72nd hr), and significant increases in semen volume (at 24th hr), semen mass activity (at 24th and 48th hr), sperm motility (at 24th, 48th and 72nd hr) and concentration (at 1st hr) were observed in vitamin E group compared with control group. Similarly, significant increase in semen volume (at 1st, 24th and 48th hr), mass activity, (at 48th hr), motility (at 48th and 72nd hr) and concentration (at 4th, 24th and 48th hr), and significant decrements in abnormal sperm rate (at 1st, 24th, 48th and 72nd hr), seminal plasma nitric oxide level (at 1st, 4th, 24th and 48th hr) and semen pH (at 24th and 48th hr) were detected in vitamin E + selenium group in comparison to the control group. As a result, it is suggested that vitamin E and/or vitamin E + selenium applications may improve reproductive performance.

“…Among different therapeutic methods, herbs are used in many countries to treat male infertility (1,12,13). Plants are more affordable and accessible than invasive and chemical treatments (14). Medicinal herbs with high antioxidant properties are used to treat sperm abnormalities, sexual dysfunction, erectile and ejaculatory disorders (1,15).…”
