In vitro sources of oxidative stress. During in vitro fertilization techniques, the COC is exposed to several potential sources of oxidative stress. O2 pressure, visible lights, culture media composition, pH changes, temperature variations, and sperm concentrations can generate ROS, provoking an imbalance in redox potential and causing oxidative damage.
