Abstract

Proteomics and metabolomics are now the promising omics techniques for biomarker screening providing complete information on molecular and metabolic processes associated with male infertility. Varicocele is a hot topic of interest in the field of male infertility, and a search for appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker is still continuing. In this chapter, we discuss the proteomic profile in sperm and seminal plasma of varicocele patients and present an in-depth look into the metabolomic studies associated with male infertility.
