Red Light Irradiation of Human Spermatozoa Increases Motility without Significant DNA Damage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Red light has been shown to increase sperm swimming speeds, but there is little characterization of its effect on DNA or swimming force. In this study 633nm laser light irradiation did not induce significant levels of oxidative DNA damage. OCIS codes: (000.1430) Biology and medicine, (350.4855) Optical tweezers or optical manipulation

Red light improves spermatozoa motility and does not induce oxidative DNA damage
The ability to successfully fertilize ova relies upon the swimming ability of spermatozoa. Both in humans and in animals, sperm motility has been used as a metric for the viability of semen samples. Recently, several studies have examined the efficacy of low dosage red light exposure for cellular repair and increasing sperm motility. Of prime importance to the practical application of this tech...
متن کاملP-72: Effect of Subinguinal Varicocelectomy on Human Sperm DNA Integrity and Semen Parameters
Background: Varicocele occurs in approximately 15% to 20% of the male population and it is the most common cause of poor semen parameters. It has been demonstrated that patients with varicocele have poor chromatin packing, DNA damage and nuclear anomalies than the healthy men. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate sperm chromatin integrity and semen parameters in these patients after...
متن کاملCryopreservation of Mesopotamian catfish (Silurus triostegus H., 1843) spermatozoa: Effects of diluents and osmotic pressure on spermatozoa DNA damage, rate and duration of motility
This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of three different conditions of osmotic pressure (325, 365 and 385 mOsm kg-1) in combination with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and NaCl or glucose on spermatozoa DNA damage, rate and duration of motility. Sperm was collected from eight healthy mature Mesopotamian catfish, evaluated microscopically and pooled at 25 °C. The pooled sperm samples...
متن کاملAnalysis of chromatin integrity and DNA damage of buffalo spermatozoa
This study was conducted to determine chromatin integrity and DNA damage by DNA electrophoresis and comet assays of buffalo fresh and frozen semen. Semen samples were collected from four buffalo bulls and evaluated after freezing for semen motility, viability, sperm abnormalities, chromatin integrity and DNA damage. A significant variation was found in semen parameters after thawing. Highly sig...
متن کاملLow 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...
