Some studies have correlated H2O2 with male infertility and catalase with fertility restoration. However, the number of studies conducted with human beings remains scarce. Considering the use of CAT as a molecular target for biochemical analysis, this review summarises the current knowledge on how CAT influences human beings\u2019 male fertility. Thus, three different databases were consulted\u2014Scopus, PubMed and WOS\u2014using single keywords and combinations thereof. A total of 40,823 articles were identified. Adopting inclusion and exclusion criteria, a final database of 197 articles served to conduct this work. It follows from this analysis that CAT could play an important role in male fertility and could become a good target for male infertility diagnosis and monitoring. However, that potential role of CAT as a tool in diagnosis must be confirmed by clinical trials. Finally, guidelines are suggested to reinforce the use of CAT in daily clinical tests for male fertility diagnosis and monitoring.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antiox9010078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,17]],"date-time":"2020-01-17T04:14:41Z","timestamp":1579234481000},"page":"78","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Catalase as a Molecular Target for Male Infertility Diagnosis and Monitoring: An Overview"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Nuria","family":"Rubio-Riquelme","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biotechnology Department, Faculty of Sciences, University of Alicante, Carretera San Vicente del Raspeig s\/n\u201403690 San Vicente del Raspeig, 03690 Alicante, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natalia","family":"Huerta-Retamal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biotechnology Department, Faculty of Sciences, University of Alicante, Carretera San Vicente del Raspeig s\/n\u201403690 San Vicente del Raspeig, 03690 Alicante, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2384-8154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9","family":"G\u00f3mez-Torres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biotechnology Department, Faculty of Sciences, University of Alicante, Carretera San Vicente del Raspeig s\/n\u201403690 San Vicente del Raspeig, 03690 Alicante, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2679-135X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rosa Mar\u00eda","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Espinosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agrochemistry and Biochemistry Department, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Division, Faculty of Sciences, University of Alicante, Carretera San Vicente del Raspeig s\/n\u201403690 San Vicente del Raspeig, 03690 Alicante, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinbiochem.2018.03.012","article-title":"Fertility and infertility: Definition and epidemiology","volume":"62","author":"Wyns","year":"2018","journal-title":"Clin.
