Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in nuclear DNA fragmentation and mitochondrial integrity of semen and prepared human spermatozoa
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine sperm nuclear DNA integrity and mitochondrial function, to quantify possible apoptosis and to investigate any relationship between these parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of DNA integrity and morphology of ejaculated spermatozoa from fertile and infertile men before and after cryopreservation
TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of cryopreservation on both DNA integrity and morphology of spermatozoa from fertile and infertile men found it had a detrimental effect on morphology of semen and prepared samples from fertile, and sperm morphology was significantly damaged by freeze-thawing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of ascorbate and α-tocopherol supplementation in vitro on DNA integrity and hydrogen peroxide-induced DNA damage in human spermatozoa
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of supplementation with ascorbate and a-tocopherol, both singly and in combination, during sperm preparation on subsequent sperm DNA integrity, induced DNA damage and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation were determined using a modified alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (Comet) assay.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro fertilization and pregnancy rates: the influence of sperm motility and morphology on IVF outcome
TL;DR: Both sperm motility parameters and percent normal morphology are significant factors in predicting fertilization and pregnancy rates in IVF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cryopreservation of human semen and prepared sperm: effects on motility parameters and DNA integrity
TL;DR: Sperm frozen unprepared in seminal fluid appeared more resistant to freezing damage than frozen prepared sperm, suggesting freezing sperm in seminal plasma improves postthaw motility and DNA integrity.
