Abstract

The current and general understanding on Diabetes, a disease often described as a metabolic disorder are studied. Further, an overview of oxidative stress and its major implications on human health have been presented in greater detail. Additionally, recent developments employing in vitro and in vivo approaches to understand the role of oxidative stress mechanisms in the development of diabetic complications are also discussed. It also focuses on the structure, physiology and functional aspects of mammalian male reproductive system and discusses various aspects related to male infertility in humans. Further, a brief account on the role of oxidative stress as an etiological factor in male infertility has been provided. Special emphasis has been given to various aspects related to diabetes and male infertility. Modulatory role of known antioxidants, under conditions of diabetes associated oxidative stress in humans as well as experimental animal models was focused. At the end, a small subsection discusses the possible use of various phytochemicals in modulating the oxidative damage in various somatic organs under diabetic conditions.
