NEW RESEARCH HORIZON Review Toxicants and human sperm chromatin integrity
The integrity of the paternal genome is essential as the spermatozoon can bring genetic damage into the oocyte at fertilization and contribute to the development of abnormal pregnancy outcome. During the past two decades, many assays have been developed to measure sperm DNA strand breaks, chromatin structure and compaction and assess the proteins associated with the DNA, as well as epigenetic m...
متن کاملEffect of PolyVinyl Pyrrolidone on Sperm Membrane Integrity and Chromatin Status
Background The aim of present study is to evaluate the effect of PolyVinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP) routinly used during ICSI procedure on sperm membrane integrity, and sperm chromatin status. MaterialsAndMethods This study was carried out on 21 semen samples from the infertile men referring to Isfahan Fertility and Infertility Center. The processed semen samples were divided into two portions. One po...
متن کاملP-1: Morphine Has Detrimental Effects on Sperm Parameters, Chromatin Quality and DNA Integrity in Mice
Background Morphine as a natural alkaloid (opiate) is considered as one of the problems associated with poor semen production and sperm quality. For the first time, this experimental study was carried out to evaluate the impact of intra-peritoneal injection of morphine on sperm parameters, chromatin quality and DNA integrity of spermatozoa aspirated from cauda epididymis of mice. MaterialsAndMe...
متن کاملEnvironmental toxicants cause sperm DNA fragmentation as detected by the Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay (SCSA).
Studies over the past two decades have clearly shown that reproductive toxicants cause sperm DNA fragmentation. This DNA fragmentation can usually be detected prior to observing alterations of metaphase chromosomes in embryos. Thus, Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay (SCSA)-detected DNA damage is viewed as the molecular precursor to later gross chromosome damage observed under the light microscope...
متن کاملeffects of sperm chromatin integrity on fertilization rate and embryo quality following intracytoplasmic sperm injection
sperm chromatin integrity has been being recognized as an important factor in male fertility. during normal fertilization, high quality sperm with intact chromatin are selected through natural selection in journey from vagina to fallopian tube. however, using assisted reproductive techniques, particularly icsi, the natural selection is bypassed. therefore sperm with dna breakage have the opport...
