Codeine-induced sperm DNA damage is mediated predominantly by oxidative stress rather than apoptosis
Redox Report, 2020 Background: Opioids have been implicated to induce infertility. Although codeine remains the most used opioid for recreational purpose, no study has documented its effect on sperm quality.

Sperm DNA and detection of DNA fragmentations in sperm [PDF]
Türk Üroloji Dergisi/Turkish Journal of Urology, 2018 The questionable effectiveness of routine sperm parameters in determining male factor infertility problems and increasing the success rates of assisted reproductive techniques have led to the investigation of more detailed sperm parameters that could affect the male fertility and reproduction.

Correlation of sperm DNA damage with blastocyst formation: systematic review and meta-analysis
Middle East Fertility Society Journal, 2021 Background The routine semen analysis fails to detect sperm DNA damage which contributes to the majority of male factor infertility. Sperm DNA fragmentation test (DFI) measures the sperm DNA damage. Blastocyst formation is an important step in IVF ± ICSI.

Effect of season on the dynamics of cat sperm DNA fragmentation
BMC Veterinary Research, 2023 Background Feline species undergo reproductive seasonality; thus, sperm characteristics, such as DNA integrity, can be affected by the photoperiod. This study was conducted to determine the effect of seasonal changes on sperm quality and on the dynamics ...
