Sperm DNA fragmentation testing: Summary evidence and clinical practice recommendations
Andrologia, 2020 We herein summarise the evidence concerning the impact of sperm DNA fragmentation in various clinical infertility scenarios and the advances on sperm DNA fragmentation tests. The collected evidence was used to formulate 41 recommendations.

In Subfertile Couple, Abdominal Fat Loss in Men Is Associated with Improvement of Sperm Quality and Pregnancy: A Case-Series [PDF]
, 2014 International audienceBackground: The impact of overweight among men of reproductive-age may affect fertility. Abdominal fat, more than body mass index, is an indicator of higher metabolic risk, which seems to be involved in decreasing sperm quality ...

Male Infertility and Sperm DNA Fragmentation [PDF]
Open 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 ...

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