SPERM DNA FRAGMENTATION [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Andrology, 2006
Several techniques have been developed to measure the amount of sperm DNA damage in an effort to identify more objective parameters for evaluation of infertile men. The integrity of sperm DNA influences a couple's fertility and helps predict the chances of pregnancy and its successful outcome.

Understanding sperm DNA fragmentation [PDF]

open access: yesTranslational Andrology and Urology, 2017
We greatly value the commentary by Dr. Gosalvez on the “Clinical utility of sperm DNA fragmentation testing: practice recommendations based on clinical scenarios” by Agarwal et al. (1). The author initiated his well-written note with an overview of the structural and physiologic significance of sperm DNA on male reproduction addressing its ...

Sperm DNA fragmentation [PDF]

open access: yesTranslational Andrology and Urology, 2017
I agree with Agarwal et al. (1) that sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) should be included in the evaluation of male factor infertility, along with semen analysis.

Male Infertility and Sperm DNA Fragmentation [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2018
BACKGROUND: One of the main factors affecting male infertility is DNA fragmentation in sperm. Male infertility is a heterogeneous group of disorders, known causes account for only 30-50%, and unknown cause (idiopathic) constitute the rest. Infertility involves nearly 15% of couples in the reproductive age, and only the male problem involves about 40 ...

Body mass index and age correlate with antioxidant supplementation effects on sperm quality: Post hoc analyses from a double-blind placebo-controlled trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Spermatozoa are vulnerable to lack of energy and oxidative stress as a result of elevated levels of reactive oxygen species. Therefore, it is essential that appropriate nutrients are available during maturation.

FSH administration reduces significantly sperm apoptosis only in the case of high DFI value: a study in idiopathic dispermic patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Introduction: In the last decades sperm DNA quality has been recognized as one of the most important markers of male reproductive potential (Lewis and Aitken, 2005; Ozmen, 2007; Tarozzi, 2007), in contrast to standard semen parameters as sperm density,

Associations of sperm DNA fragmentation with lifestyle factors and semen parameters of Saudi men and its impact on ICSI outcome

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2018
Background Male factor infertility is quite common as 30–50% of infertility cases are due to sperm defects. The high sperm DNA fragmentation is one of the causes of male factor infertility.

Types, causes, detection and repair of DNA fragmentation in animal and human sperm cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Concentration, motility and morphology are parameters commonly used to determine the fertilization potential of an ejaculate. These parameters give a general view on the quality of sperm but do not provide information about one of the most important ...

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

open access: yesInternational Journal of Fertility and Sterility, 2010
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.
