Role of Sperm DNA Integrity in Fertility
نویسنده
چکیده
The traditional semen analysis is a cornerstone in diagnosis and treatment of male fertility (World Health Organisation (WHO), 1999, 2010). The sperm parameters concentration, motility and morphology are, however, claimed to be poor predictors of a male ́s fertility status, this in natural conception (Bonde et al., 1998; Guzick et al., 2001) as well as in assisted reproductive techniques (ART) (Wolf et al., 1996).

Effect of chromatin condensation on frozen-thawed sperm DNA integrity in normozoospermic men
Background and Aim: Sperm cryopreservation is a common technique used for management of male infertility. But this method has detrimental effects on sperm DNA and chromatin quality. Evaluation of different markers associated with the health of genetic material of sperm is beneficial for determination of the fertility of sperm. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of sperm chromatin co...

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the possible relationship between sperm DNA integrity and chromatin packaging evaluated by cytochemical assays, traditional sperm parameters and recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) of unknown origin. Materials and Methods: In this cohort study, 40 couples with a history of RSA and 40 couples with proven fertility were considered as case and cont...

Background: Cysteine has been used as additive in cryopreservation extenders. It contains of thiol group which plays an antioxidant role to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) during freeze -thaw procedure. Excessive ROS production cause DNA damage and subsequently reduce sperm fertility. On the other hand, protamine protein have high levels of cysteine which is critical in packaging and co...

Background: Techniques of sperm preparation require centrifugation to separate spermatozoa from the seminal plasma. The centrifugation can induce damage to the spermatozoa and increase reactive oxygen species(ROS) productionspecially in leukospermic speciemens that are associated with impaired function and fertilizing capacity. However in ICSI, fertilization can occure with damage DNA sperm but...

Background: Varicoceles are the abnormal tortuosity and dilatation of the veins of the pampiniform plexus that drain the testis. Recently, studies evaluating the role of oxidative stress in male infertility have shown that infertile men with varicocele have elevated levels of sperm and testicular tissue-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore current study was designed to evaluate prot...
متن کاملP-72: Effect of Subinguinal Varicocelectomy on Human Sperm DNA Integrity and Semen Parameters
Background: Varicocele occurs in approximately 15% to 20% of the male population and it is the most common cause of poor semen parameters. It has been demonstrated that patients with varicocele have poor chromatin packing, DNA damage and nuclear anomalies than the healthy men. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate sperm chromatin integrity and semen parameters in these patients after...
