Low rates of DNA fragmentation in selected motile human spermatozoa assessed by the TUNEL assay.
BACKGROUND In this study we present the physiological changes observed in ejaculated spermatozoa of normospermic men after exposure to hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) or gamma irradiation. METHODS Motility changes as well as membrane and DNA-damage were determined in spermatozoa after incubation with 25 micromol/l of H(2)O(2) during increasing intervals of time (0--60 min and after 24 h) or afte...
متن کاملCan DNA fragmentation of neat or swim-up spermatozoa be used to predict pregnancy following ICSI of fertile oocyte donors?
This study compared the potential of assessing sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) from neat semen and the subsequent swim-up (SU) procedure to predict pregnancy when conducting ICSI of fertile donor oocytes. Infertile females (n=81) were transferred embryos resulting from intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) of their partner's spermatozoa and proven donor oocytes. This model normalized the impact...
متن کاملOrigin and biological significance of DNA fragmentation in human spermatozoa.
The occurrence of DNA fragmentation in mammalian spermatozoa was identified in 1993. In human, sperm DNA fragmentation is particularly relevant in subfertile patients (i.e, those subjects more likely to be treated by assisted reproductive techniques). Thus, concerns have been raised about the possibility that sperm with DNA fragmentation may be involved in the process of fertilization, in parti...
متن کاملFragmentation of DNA in morphologically normal human spermatozoa.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate DNA fragmentation in spermatozoa with normal morphological appearance. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Academic tertiary center. PATIENT(S) Fertile, subfertile, and infertile men were studied. INTERVENTION(S) Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-fluorescein nick-end labeling assay and morphology assessment by phase contrast in ...
متن کاملSpontaneous Mesenchymal to Epithelial Like Tissue Transition (MET) in a Long Term Human Skin Culture
In an attempt to isolate multipotent stem cells from foreskin in a long-term culture, we encountered an interesting phenomenon which was the conversion of the fibroblast dominant condition to epithelial-like tissue formation. However, the basic mechanism(s) which may be involved in this conversion is not clear. This study was designed to evaluate the cells protein secretion activity and examine...
