The use of insulin-like growth factor 1 improved the parameters of the seminogram in a patient with severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia

Abstract: Male patients suffering from oligoasthenoteratozoospermia typically failed to achieve pregnancy, even with assisted reproductive technologies. Growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 have been shown to regulate sperm quality parameters; therefore, the insulin-like growth factor 1 supplement could improve sperm parameters. Here, we determine the effect insulin-like growth factor 1 has on sperm parameters in a patient suffering from oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. A 47-year-old male was administered once a… Show more

“…In fact, testicular IGF‐I expression is controlled by FSH and LH, in the Leydig and Sertoli cells, respectively (Singh, 2019). Therefore, oligoasthenoteratozoospermic men, treated with IGF‐I, improved the semen quality increasing sperm concentration, progressive motility and volume (Rodríguez et al, 2019), since the IGF‐I is considered an antioxidant factor, which prevent the action of reactive oxygen species on spermatozoa (Binsila et al., 2018).…”

“…IGF-I, a potent mitogenic and metabolic substance, is an important regulator of reproductive functions [ 27 ]. IGF-I in seminal plasma is primarily produced by the testicular and epididymal organs [ 28 ]. However, most local tissue IGF does not exist as free molecules [ 29 ] but forms a ternary complex that consists of IGF-I, IGFBP-3, and acid-labile subunit with a molecular weight of 150 kDa [ 30 ].…”
