Clinical adaptation of the sperm ubuquitin tag immunoassay (SUTI): relationship of sperm ubiquitylation with sperm quality in gradient-purified semen samples from 93 men from a general infertility clinic population.

BACKGROUND The proteolytic chaperone peptide ubiquitin accumulates in defective human spermatozoa. Immunodetection of ubiquitin in human sperm samples correlates with semen quality and male fertility. METHODS Semen samples from 93 men from couples seeking infertility treatment were separated on a PureSperm density gradient and screened by immunofluorescence microscopy with anti-ubiquitin anti...

Effect of Cigarette Smoking on Sperm Parameters in Men With Idiopathic Infertility

Background: Several studies have reported that cigarette smoking affects sperm parameters, especially semen quality, but their results are contradictory.  Objective: This retrospective study aims to evaluate the relationship of sperm parameters with smoking in men with idiopathic infertility.  Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 1744 infertile men with at least on...

Re: Sperm Motility Inversely Correlates with Seminal Leptin Levels in Idiopathic Asthenozoospermia.

BACKGROUND Asthenozoospermia is one kind cause of male infertility. Nevertheless, no specific etiology can be identified by routine tests in some cases. Recently, it has been shown that leptin plays a critical role in male fertility. However, the link between leptin and sperm motility is yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to explore association between seminal and serum leptin leve...

Non-invasive genetic diagnosis of male infertility using spermatozoal RNA: KLHL10 mutations in oligozoospermic patients impair homodimerization.

Infertility affects an estimated 7% of men worldwide, nearly a quarter of whom are diagnosed as idiopathic. The genetic etiologies of idiopathic male infertility are unknown, partly due to lack of simple diagnostic techniques. Moreover, the transmission risk of such genetic defects to offspring born from assisted reproductive techniques is increasingly becoming a concern for physicians and infe...

P-207: Study of Relationship among Six SNPs in PRM1, PRM2 and TNP2 Genes and Idiopathic Azoospermia in Iranian Infertile Men

Background: Histones are replaced by protamines to condensate and package DNA into the sperm head during mammalian spermatogenesis. Protamine genes defects have been reported to cause sperm DNA damage and male infertility. In this study relationship among some protamines genes family SNPs include PRM1 (C321A), PRM2 (C248T) and TNP2 (T1019C), (G1272C), (G del in 1036 and 1046 bp) were studied in...
