Testicular volume, scrotal temperature, and oxidative stress in fertile men with left varicocele

The testicular volume in fertile men with undetermined varicoceles was comparable with men without varicoceles. Elevation of scrotal temperature without an increase of oxidative stress in fertile men with varicoceles indicates a disturbance of the oxidative stress scavenging system in infertile men...

Zusammenfassung:	The testicular volume in fertile men with undetermined varicoceles was comparable with men without varicoceles. Elevation of scrotal temperature without an increase of oxidative stress in fertile men with varicoceles indicates a disturbance of the oxidative stress scavenging system in infertile men with varicoceles.
