Studying of the Expression of BAX and BCL-2 Genes in Men with Sperm DNA Fragmentation Based on DFI and Comet Assay
Introduction: The amount of expression of BAX and BCL-2 genes in infertile men’s sperm as well as its association with sperm parameters and DNA fragmentation index is an issue which has not been studied yet. In this research, it is assumed that up-regulation of BAX and downregulation of BCL-2 are directly associated with sperm DNA fragmentation. Methods: After obtaining semen samples from the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Protamine Deficiency and DNA Fragmentation in Two Globozoospermia Patients Undergoing ICSI
The aim of this report has been evaluating protamine content and DNA integrity of two patients with globozoospermia undergoing Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Semen analysis was carried out according to WHO criteria. Protamine deficiency and DNA fragmentation was assessed using Chromomycin A3 and sperm chromatin dispersion assay respectively. ICSI and chemical activation were carried ...
متن کاملP-81: Evaluation of DNA Fragmentation in Patients with Total Globozoospermia
Background: Infertility is estimated to affect up to 15% of couples of reproductive age, and male factors contribute to 50% of these cases. Globozoospermia syndrome is a severe form of teratozoospermia, with an incidence of less than 0.1%. It is characterized by round sperm head. The most prominent feature of globozoospermia is the malformation of the acrosome, which is totally absent in the to...
متن کاملP-13: Comparison of Sperm Quality, Oxidative Stress, DNA Fragmentation, Protamine Deficiency, and DNA Methylation in Varicocele and Fertile Individuals
s:1993:"Background: There are many approaches that gene expression is controlled in eukaryotes. DNA methylation is one of several epigenetic mechanisms that cells use to control gene expression and lock genes in the "off" position. In addition, sperm DNA damage can correlate with DNA methylation defect. There is evidence that sperm of infertile men contain more DNA damage than fertile men and t...
متن کاملP-48: Evaluation of Sperm ChromatinStructure in Patients with Partial Globozoospermia
Background: Globozoospermia is an uncommon disorder of sperm morphology associated with severe male infertility. Patients who contain both normal and round-headed sperm are called partial globozoospermic. It is possible that round-headed sperm may have an abnormal chromatin structure and /or DNA strand breaks. Moreover, sperm DNA fragmentation and protamine deficiency is shown to be associated ...
متن کامل[Letter to the Editor] DNA Fragmentation Is Not Associated with Apoptosis in Zerumbone-induced HepG2 Cells
Zerumbone is a cytotoxic compound isolated from the herbal plant, Zingiber zerumbet Smith, which exhibits antitumor activity [1-2], anti-inflammatory effects and possesses anti-proliferative potentials in a variety of cell lines [3-4]. DNA fragmentation indicates an early event of apoptosis leading to cell death due to the absence of new cellular proteins synthesizing for cell survival. Previou...
