can zeta sperm selection method, recover sperm with higher dna integrity compare to density gradient centrifugation?
Authors
abstract
background: sperm selection for icsi based on morphology and motility might not be relevant to chromatin integrity. thus sperm selection based on sperm characteristics has been suggested. objective: the aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of zeta method with routine density gradient centrifugation method (dgc) for the selection of sperm with higher dna integrity. materials and methods: semen samples were obtained from 63 individuals referring to andrology unit of isfahan fertility and infertility center. semen analysis was carried out according to who criteria. each semen sample was divided into three equal portions. one portion was used as control, the second portion was used for zeta method and the third portion underwent dgc method. each portion was evaluated to dna integrity by tunel assay. student t-test was carried out using spss and p-value lower than 0.05 was considered significant. results: the mean number of sperm dna fragmentation in zeta and dgc methods were significantly decreased compare to the control group (p<0.001). in addition, zeta method was more efficient than the dgc method in the selection of sperm with intact dna (p<0.001). conclusion: the zeta method appears to be a suitable procedure to recover sperm with normal dna integrity.

Comparison of Sperm Telomere Length between Two Sperm Selection Procedures: Density Gradient Centrifugation and Zeta Potential
Background: Telomeres are particular sequences of DNA located at the end of the eukaryotic chromosomes that are essential for genome integrity. Telomere length in spermatozoa differs among males, as well as spermatozoa. Also, decreased telomere length in spermatozoa of infertile men is associated with the reduction of fertility potential and embryo quality. Density gradient centrifugation (DGC)...

BACKGROUND Reducing the percentage of sperm anomalies in insemination samples remains a goal to be achieved in the intra-cytoplasmic sperm insemination (ICSI) procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of density gradient centrifugation (DGC) and Zeta methods to recover sperm with intact chromatin, and to evaluate whether the combined DGC/Zeta procedure improved ICSI outcom...

background: it has been claimed that by using different washing methods, the sperms can be separated according to size, motility, density, chromosomal content and surface markings and charge. these methods also reduce sperm chromatin deficiencies and screen the sperms before applying in assisted reproduction techniques. objective: this study compared simple density gradient methods and a combin...

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY The increasing use of modern reproductive techniques in human medicine has led to a higher demand for isolation of motile sperm. Several of these isolation techniques have been adapted for veterinary use and can be applied for the selection of a superior sperm sample from stallion semen. Until recently a major disadvantage of such isolation techniques was the limita...

This was a prospective multicenter study aiming at comparing the efficiency of sperm selection by density gradient centrifugation (DGC) in reducing sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) in different ART centers. The study was designed using 290 semen samples collected from 10 different ART centers performing artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and blind assessment of SDF at the University f...
