Journal ArticleDOI

Association between obesity and alteration of sperm DNA integrity and mitochondrial activity.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of obesity on semen analysis, sperm mitochondrial activity and DNA fragmentation was assessed, and a transversal study of 305 male patients, presenting for clinical evaluation, was carried out.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sperm nuclear DNA fragmentation and mitochondrial activity in men with varicocele

TL;DR: Compared with men without varicocele, men with varicoCele had a higher percentage of cells with DNA fragmentation and sperm with inactive mitochondria, and the sperm functional evaluation (DNA fragmentation and mitochondrial activity) could be important factors in deciding treatment options for men withvaricocele.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection in infertile men with treated and untreated clinical varicocele.

TL;DR: It is suggested that varicocelectomy improves clinical pregnancy and live birth rates by intracytoplasmic sperm injection in infertile couples in which the male partner has clinical varicocele.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sperm nuclear DNA fragmentation in adolescents with varicocele.

TL;DR: Although standard semen analysis showed no difference between the groups, adolescents with varicocele have an increase in sperm nuclear DNA fragmentation, Thus, DNA fragmentation evaluation could be important in deciding treatment options for adolescent patients.
