Variation in mean human sperm length is linked with semen characteristics.
STUDY QUESTION Are there any links between the length measurements of sperm components (head, midpiece, flagellum, total sperm length and the flagellum:head ratio) and data obtained during semen analysis? SUMMARY ANSWER Both the mean measurement and the variation in the lengths of sperm components are related to characteristics of semen. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Studies in non-human species ha...
متن کاملHuman sperm DNA integrity in normal and abnormal semen samples and its correlation with sperm characteristics.
Reports indicate an increase in the incidence of DNA fragmentation in male factor infertility and its role in the outcome of assisted reproductive techniques (ART). However, reports are conflicting between the relationships of sperm DNA integrity with conventional semen parameters. We examined the relationship between conventional sperm parameters and DNA integrity using acridine orange (AO) te...
متن کاملSperm Characteristics in Cryopreserved Buffalo Bull Semen and Field Fertility
Semen quality and its relationship to fertility are major concern in animal production. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between frozen thawed sperm characteristics and fertility following in vivo fertility through Artificial Insemination(AI). Semen samples were collected from four buffalo bulls. Semen volume and sperm concentration appeared to be significantly different (P0...
متن کاملsperm ubiquitination correlation with human semen quality
background: ubiquitin, an 8.5 kda peptide that marks other proteins for proteasomal degradation, tags defective sperm during epididymal passage. thus, sperm ubiquitination is a universal marker for sperm defects and can be used as a sperm function test. the objective of the present study was to examine the relationships between sperm ubiquitination and clinical semen parameters, using simpl...
متن کاملElemental composition of human semen is associated with motility and genomic sperm defects among older men.
BACKGROUND Older men tend to have poorer semen quality and are generally at higher risks for infertility and abnormal reproductive outcomes. METHODS We employed proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE, 3 MeV proton beam) to investigate the concentrations of zinc, copper, calcium, sulfur, chlorine, potassium, titanium, iron and nickel in washed sperm and seminal plasma from non-smoking groups of 1...
