P-50: Evaluation of Sperm Parameters and Chromatin Abnormalities in Infertility with CASA and Chromatin Dispersion Test

author

Abstract:

Background: Although sperm selection according to morphologic and motility characteristic, made to some what the fertility successful, but sperm’s normal morphology cannot demonstrate sperm DNA competence. Since the health of sperm DNA is affecting the results of assisted reproductive technology; the aim of this study is to evaluate semen parameters measured by CASA with sperm chromatin abnormalities in Taleghani Medical Center in 1390 and 1391. Materials and Methods: Case-control study was conducted. Subjects who had a diagnosis of infertility and a control group who had previous fertility. Semen samples were taken and sperm parameters such as motility and morphology evaluated with CASA and DNA fragmentation was assessed by chromatin dispersion test. Protamine deficiency was evaluated by chromomycin A3 staining. Parameters in both groups were analyzed statistically. Results: The results showed a significant correlation between protamine deficiency, DNA fragmentation and sperm parameters. Head and neck anomalies showed the maximum significant correlation with percentage of sperm DNA fragmentation; but tail anomalies even occur with percentage of DNA competence. Conclusion: Protamine deficiency and damage in sperm DNA in infertile cases was more than fertile cases. In cases with high DNA damage ratio, sperm parameters were poorer and the fertility was less, so CASA method cans analysis sperm parameters with high precision.

Etiology and Evaluation of Sperm Chromatin Anomalies

Evidence suggests that human sperm chromatin anomalies adversely affect reproductive outcomes and infertile men possess substantially amount of sperm with chromatin anomalies than fertile men. Routine semen analysis evaluates parameters such as sperm motility and morphology, but does not examine the nuclear DNA integrity of spermatozoa. It has been suggested that altered nuclear chromatin struc...

P-61: Effects of Acrylamid on Sperm Parameters and Chromatin Quality in Mice

Background: Acrylamid (AA) is found in carbohydraterich foods that are prepared at high temperatures, such as French fries and potato chips. The toxic effects of AA in male animals include degeneration of epithelial cells of seminiferous tubules, decreased number of sperm and elevation in abnormal spermatozoa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the detrimental effects of AA on sperm paramete...

P-12: The Improvement of Sperm Parameters and Chromatin Quality by Vitamin E Supplement in Mice

Background: Vitamin E is believed to be the primary component of the antioxidant system in spermatozoa. There is a relationship between activity of these antioxidant and function of sperm. Vitamins E and C which are belong to non-enzymatic antioxidant are used as a supplemented drug to improve sperm quality and male fertility. The present study was carried out to investigate the positive effect...

The evaluation of sperm chromatin status in men with different infertility factors, and its relationship with ICSI outcomes

One of the most important factors related to male fertility is sperm chromatin status. Under Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART), especially Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), the natural selection of high quality sperm with intact chromatin is not possible. Therefore, embryo quality and pregnancy rate decreased for damaged DNA of sperms involved in the fertilization of eggs. Thus, thi...

P-1: Morphine Has Detrimental Effects on Sperm Parameters, Chromatin Quality and DNA Integrity in Mice

Background Morphine as a natural alkaloid (opiate) is considered as one of the problems associated with poor semen production and sperm quality. For the first time, this experimental study was carried out to evaluate the impact of intra-peritoneal injection of morphine on sperm parameters, chromatin quality and DNA integrity of spermatozoa aspirated from cauda epididymis of mice. MaterialsAndMe...

P-74: Cytochemical Evaluation of Sperm Chromatin and DNA Integrity in Couples with 3 Unexplained Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion

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...
