The effect of rhFSH on Sperm DNA Fragmentation and sperm parameters in Oligozoospermia Infertile Men

Background: One of the main causes of male infertility is the negative effects of oxidative stress. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays an essential role in spermatogenesis, as well as in the maintenance of sperm DNA integrity. This study aimed to determine whether the recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (rhFSH) treatment of sperm parameters could positively affect sperm DNA and...

P-33: The Effect of the Pentoxifylline on Human Sperm DNA Fragmentation

Background: It is stated that pentoxifyline can improve sperm motility and suggested to use in ART for asthenozoospermia. But, probable effect of this drug on sperm DNA in unknown. Our main goal was to evaluate the impact of pentoxifyline on sperm DNA fragmentation. Materials and Methods: Thirty eight asthenozoospermic patients were selected for this prospective study. After direct swim-up, spe...
