چکیده مقاله:

Introduction: tegrity is the most important component for transferring genetic information Sperm DNA fragmentation is considered a component of male infertility. Its assessment comprises conventional semen analysis of which emphasis is placed on its evaluation in fertility clinics. In this study, we investigate the relationship between sperm parameters of motility, morphology, concentration, and DNA fragmentation level (DFLs) in sperm. Materials and Methods: 89: nfertile men were assessed by conventional sperm analysis. DFLs were determined by Halosperm, a sperm chromatin dispersion test (SCD) which was performed in both groups of patients, the low DNA fragmentation group (LFG≤30%) and high DNA fragmentation group (HFG) 30%. Results: Sperm parameters of concentration (p<0.001), motility (p<0.001) and morphology (p<0.01) in the HFG group were significantly lower than in the LF group after sperm preparation. Logistic regression model showed morphology and motility variables were predictive of DFLs. The cut off points were 5% (morphology) and 50% (motility). Conclusion: Our results have shown a negative relationship between DFLs and sperm parameters after preparation. According to a DF value of >30% in the percent of men with normal semen parameters, the high importance of performing a DF test in the clinic setting in order to determine sperm DNA problems and the presence of sperm abnormalities in patients is recommended.

Effects of Sperm DNA Fragmentation on Semen Parameters and ICSI Outcome Determined by an Improved SCD Test, Halosperm

Background Sperm DNA fragmentation is known as an important cause of male infertility. The influence of sperm DNA damage on reproductive potential has been subject of many studies indicating various results and remaining the subject controversial. In this study, we investigated differences of the semen parameters and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome according to sperm DNA fragmen...

The relationship between sperm viability and DNA fragmentation rates

BACKGROUND In humans, sperm DNA fragmentation rates have been correlated with sperm viability rates. Reduced sperm viability is associated with high sperm DNA fragmentation, while conversely high sperm viability is associated with low rates of sperm DNA fragmentation. Both elevated DNA fragmentation rates and poor viability are correlated with impaired male fertility, with a DNA fragmentation r...

The effect of rhFSH on Sperm DNA Fragmentation and sperm parameters in Oligozoospermia Infertile Men

Background: One of the main causes of male infertility is the negative effects of oxidative stress. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays an essential role in spermatogenesis, as well as in the maintenance of sperm DNA integrity. This study aimed to determine whether the recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (rhFSH) treatment of sperm parameters could positively affect sperm DNA and...

The Relationship between Seminal Melatonin with Sperm Parameters, DNA Fragmentation and Nuclear Maturity in Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection Candidates

OBJECTIVE Melatonin, the chief secretory product of the pineal gland, regulates dynamic physiological adaptations that occur in seasonally breeding mammals as a response to changes in daylight hours. Because of the presence of melatonin in semen and the mem- brane melatonin receptor in spermatozoa, the impact of melatonin on the regulation of male infertility is still questionable. The aim of t...

Correlation between sperm parameters and sperm DNA fragmentation in fertile and infertile men

Background: It is established that sperm DNA integrity is essential in fertilization and normal embryo and fetal development. Routine semen analysis gives an approximate evaluation of the functional competence of spermatozoa, but does not always reflect the quality of sperm DNA. Therefore, the evaluation of sperm DNA integrity, in addition to routine sperm parameters, could add further informat...
