Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of deoxyribonucleic acid damage on fertilization and pregnancy

TL;DR: The data clearly demonstrate that DNA fragmentation, as determined by the TUNEL assay, is predictive for pregnancy in IVF, which implies that spermatozoa with DNA fragmentation can still fertilize an oocyte but that when paternal genes are "switched on," further embryonic development stops, resulting in failed pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA fragmentation of spermatozoa and assisted reproduction technology.
Ralf Henkel,Eva Kierspel,Marjam Hajimohammad,T. Stalf,Christiaan F. Hoogendijk,Claas Mehnert,Roelof Menkveld,Wolf-Bernhard Schill,Thinus F. Kruger +8 more
TL;DR: Human sperm DNA fragmentation was investigated by means of the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUDP nick-end labelling (TUNEL) assay and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the ejaculate and in the spermatozoa themselves, revealing markedly stronger correlations between sperm functions and the percentage of ROS-producing spermatozosa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urogenital inflammation: changes of leucocytes and ROS.
Ralf Henkel,Gesa Maass,Marjam Hajimohammad,Roelof Menkveld,T. Stalf,Juana V. Villegas,Raúl Sánchez,T. F. Kruger,W.-B. Schill +8 more
TL;DR: The result in the in vitro fertilization programme, none of the examined parameters showed a correlation with either fertilization or pregnancy, which seems to be reasonable as severely damaged spermatozoa and leucocytes are eliminated from the ejaculate by different sperm separation methods.
