    Background: We planned to evaluate the effects of thiol/disulfide homeostasis (TDH) on sperm parameters in varicocele patients in this study. Methods: According to sperm concentration (< 15 x 10(6)/mL) sperm morphology (<4%) and progressive motility values (<32%) in the semen analysis, patients were divided into four groups as oligozoospermia (OS, n = 27), oligoasthenozoospermia (OAS, n = 20), oligoteratozoospermia (OTS, n = 26), and oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OATS, n = 19). Patients with varicocele diagnosis but no pathology in semen analysis were accepted as the control group (n = 25). Groups with impaired semen analysis results were compared to the control group. Results: No difference was detected between OS, OAS, OTS, and OATS groups and the control group in demographical (age, BMI) and varicocele parameters (vein diameter, grade). A significant difference was observed in disulfide level, disulfide/native thiol, disulfide/total thiol rates among OS, OAS, OTS, OATS groups and the control group in the evaluation of TDH parameters. They were significantly higher in OATS group. In OS, OAS, OTS, and OATS groups, it was found that native thiol and total thiol levels were lower and disulfide level was higher than control group, and thiol/disulfide homeostasis shifted to the disulfide side. It was detected that when disulfide value increases 1 mu mol/L, the morphology deteriorated 0.3% and sperm concentration (10(6)/mL) decreased 0.74 and progressive motility decreased 0.68%. Conclusions: The results of the present study suggest that patients with varicocele who have impaired sperm parameters have oxidative stress characterized by TDH slide towards disulfide side and inadequate antioxidant response identified by a lower level of native thiol compared to controls.

    Is oxidative stress measured by thiol/disulphide homeostasis status associated with prostate adenocarcinoma?
    (Termedia Publishing House Ltd, 2018) Sonmez, Mehmet G.; Kozanhan, Betul; Deniz, Cigdem D.; Goger, Yunus E.; Kilinc, Muzaffer T.; Neselioglu, Salim; Ere, Ozcan
    Aim of the study: We aim to examine the relation between thiol/disulphide homeostasis and transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx) results and evaluate whether it was effective on the distinction of benign and malign prostate disease. Material and methods: The study included 29 men histopathologically diagnosed as prostate adenocancer (Pca) (group 1), 30 men having benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) (group 2) and age match 30 healthy individuals in the control group (group 3). Thiol/disulphide homeostasis was measured using a novel automatic and spectrophotometric method. Results: Among the three groups, a statistically significant difference was detected among native thiol, total thiol levels and disulphide/total thiol, disulphide/native thiol and native thiol/total thiol ratios which are thiol/disulphide homeostasis parameters apart from disulphide (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001 respectively). Additionally, no significant difference was detected in albumin and total protein levels among the groups (p = 0.223, p = 0.316 respectively). Serum native and total thiol levels were high and disulphide level was low in group 1 when compared to the group 2 (p = 0.003, p = 0.007, p = 0.265 respectively). In addition, serum native thiol, total thiol and disulphide levels were low in group 1 when compared to the group 3, but while low native and total thiol levels were significant, low disulphide levels were not found significant (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p = 0.331, respectively). Conclusions: Thiol/disulphide homeostasis was found to be disturbed in Pca patients detected with TRUS-Bx. This is suggesting serum native thiol, total thiol level and ratios provides a novel biomarker for the role for oxidative stress in disease etiopathogenesis.
