Abstract:

Purpose: The best sperm selection by its binding ability to hyaluronic acid for ICSI and assessment of correlation between sperm binding ability to hyaluronic acid with sperm parameters, protamine deficiency and DNA fragmentation. Materials and Methods: Semen samples collected from 55 infertile couples referring to ?? Fertility and Infertility center were collected during this study. Semen analysis was carried out according to WHO criteria. By incubation sperm to hyaluronic acid within microinjection dishes, can measure percentage of sperm binding to hyaluronic acid. Sperm morphology, protamine deficiency and DNA fragmentation were assessed by Papanicolaou staining, Chromomycin A3 (CMA3) staining, and SCD test, respectively. Results: Percentage of sperm binding to hyaluronic acid has significant negative correlation with percentage of abnormal morphology (p=0.001) whereas a significant positive correlation was obtained with sperm concentration (p=0.001) and motility (p=0.001). Also, percentage of sperm binding to hyaluronic acid has significant negative correlation with protamine deficiency (p=0.028) and DNA fragmentation (p=0.035). Conclusion: The results of present study suggest that sperm binding to hyaluronic acid show normal morphology and intact chromatin structure. Thus, we could select the best sperm for ICSI that binds to hyaluronic acid.

P-62: Damage to Sperm DNA and Protamine Deficiency Induced by Risperidone in NMRI Mice

Background: Antipsychotic medication use is a common cause of hyperprolactinemia that shown to have adverse effects on male fertility. Risperidone is a combined serotonin/dopamine receptor antagonist that can cause elevations in prolactine level. Its mechanism of cytotoxic effects on testicular germ cells is not fully understood. In the present study we sought to elucidate the impact of risperi...

Relationship between sperm protamine deficiency and apoptosis in couples with unexplained repeated spontaneous abortions

BACKGROUND Etiology of more than half of Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion. The etiology of more than 50 percent of Recurrent Spontaneous Abortions (RSA) cases has been remained unexplained. It is supposed that RSA may have "paternal effect" due to supply 50% of embryonic genomic content by male gamete. OBJECTIVE The aim of present study was to evaluate the role of sperm apoptosis and protamine ...

Sperm parameters, protamine deficiency, and apoptosis in total globozoospermia

BACKGROUND Globozoospermia is a severe form of teratozoospermia (incidence < 0.1%) in infertile men that is characterized by round headed sperm and acrosomeless in semen. OBJECTIVE To compare the semen parameters, protamine deficiency, and apoptosis in ejaculated spermatozoa between globozoospermic and normozoospermic men. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty six semen samples were divided into two...
