Ascorbic acid mitigates oxidative structural degradation in bovine spermatozoa: a label-free quantitative phase microscopy study

Oxidative stress is a key factor in low fertility outcomes during assisted reproduction technology (ART) and contributes to poor sperm quality.

Oxidative stress is a key factor in low fertility outcomes during assisted reproduction technology (ART) and contributes to poor sperm quality. Conventional assessment relies on bright-field microscopy, which lacks the quantitative sensitivity to resolve subcellular structural…
