Varicocele Time-dependently Affects DNA Integrity of Sperm Cells: Evidence for Lower In vitro Fertilization Rate in Varicocele-positive Rats

P-19: Effect of Three Sperm Preparation Methods on Sperm DNA Integrity and Oocyte Fertilization Rate

Background: Techniques of sperm preparation require centrifugation to separate spermatozoa from the seminal plasma. The centrifugation can induce damage to the spermatozoa and increase reactive oxygen species(ROS) productionspecially in leukospermic speciemens that are associated with impaired function and fertilizing capacity. However in ICSI, fertilization can occure with damage DNA sperm but...

Sperm DNA integrity: from ‘promising’ to standardization

Human assisted reproduction results have improved dramatically in the last 20 years, with lower complications for the patient as well as for the newborns. This requires a precise clinical diagnosis that will allow us to individualize the best-personalized treatment for each patient or couple. But still today, the basi...

Sperm Aneuploidy and Dna Integrity: a Review

Male factors leading to infertility account for at least half of all cases of infertility worldwide. The purpose of this review is to highlight the importance of sperm DNA integrity. A systematic literature search was performed up to January 2015 in order to determine the impact of sperm DNA integrity and of the techniques used to determine it. Only articles presenting sperm aneuploidy together...

Sperm DNA integrity in testicular cancer patients.

BACKGROUND We evaluated the impact of testicular germ cell cancer (TGCC), its treatment and length of follow-up on sperm DNA integrity. METHODS In 96 TGCC patients, semen was collected at specific intervals until 5 years after treatment. Sperm DNA integrity was assessed by the sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA, n = 193) and by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-e...
