A cost for high levels of sperm competition in rodents: Increased sperm DNA fragmentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Spermcompetition, a prevalent evolutionary process inwhich the spermatozoa of two or more males compete for the fertilization of the same ovum, leads to morphological and physiological adaptations, including increases in energetic metabolism that may ...

Sperm DNA fragmentation index as a promising predictive tool for male infertility diagnosis and treatment management - meta-analyses.

open access: yesReproductive Biomedicine Online, 2018
Conventional semen analyses have limitations in male infertility diagnosis and prognosis. Assessment of sperm DNA fragmentation (sDF) has been proposed to discriminate fertile from infertile men and predict FSH treatment response in infertile men ...

Progress in Research on Sperm DNA Fragmentation [PDF]

open access: yesMedical Science Monitor, 2020
With the increasing incidence of male infertility, routine detection of semen is insufficient to accurately assess male fertility. Infertile men, who have lower odds of conceiving naturally, exhibit high levels of sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF). The mechanisms driving SDF include abnormal spermatogenesis, oxidative stress damage, and abnormal sperm ...

Codeine-induced sperm DNA damage is mediated predominantly by oxidative stress rather than apoptosis

open access: yesRedox 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.

The combined effect of lifestyle intervention and antioxidant therapy on sperm DNA fragmentation and seminal oxidative stress in IVF patients: a pilot study

open access: yesInternational Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2021
Purpose: Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) and seminal oxidative stress are emerging measurable factors in male factor infertility, which interventions could potentially reduce.

Sperm DNA and detection of DNA fragmentations in sperm [PDF]

open access: yesTürk 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.

Semen analysis revisited- Qualitative assessment of sperms using cytochemical stains- the new norms of male infertility workup

open access: yesJournal of Pathology of Nepal, 2023
Background: Male infertility is on the rise globally. It contributes to about 40-50% of all infertility cases. Semen analysis forms the basic investigation for the assessment of male factors of infertility, but it has its pitfalls.

A perspective on sperm DNA fragmentation [PDF]

open access: yesTranslational Andrology and Urology, 2017
The paper on sperm DNA fragmentation by Ashok Agarwal et al . summarizes the currently available DNA fragmentation tests and discusses the role of sperm function tests in the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) era (1). The authors have summarized the clinical utility of sperm DNA fragmentation test and have provided recommendations based on ...

Antioxidant Supplementation on Sperm DNA Fragmentation and Sperm Parameters: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yesTurkish journal of urology, 2022
Objective: Infertility affects about 15% of couples in reproductive age worldwide. Male factors are the main causes for this condition. Antioxidants have long been used for infertility treatment as they are easily available with a low cost.

Correlation of sperm DNA damage with blastocyst formation: systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesMiddle 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.
