Objective To evaluate whether DNA fragmentation and/or mitochondrial membrane potential
(MMP) predict natural conception better than standard sperm parameters. Design …

Purpose: To assess the effects of sperm DNA damage, as determined by the TUNEL assay
and the SCSA respectively, on the outcomes of IVF/ICSI treatment. Methods: A Medline …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate sperm DNA fragmentation and semen parameters to diagnose
male factor infertility and predict pregnancy after IVF. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING …

STUDY QUESTION Is there an association between sperm DNA damage, measured by
three different assays, sperm nuclear protein content and clinical outcomes in assisted …

BACKGROUND: The sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) has been suggested as a
predictor of fertility in vivo as well as in vitro. The available data however, have been based …

Background In humans, sperm DNA fragmentation rates have been correlated with sperm
viability rates. Reduced sperm viability is associated with high sperm DNA fragmentation …

Objective To investigate the rate of sperm DNA fragmentation in male partners of women
with recurrent pregnancy loss and fertile control women. Design Systematic review and meta …

Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) has been generally acknowledged as a valuable tool for
male fertility evaluation. While its detrimental implications on sperm function were …

Conventional semen analyses have limitations in male infertility diagnosis and prognosis.
Assessment of sperm DNA fragmentation (sDF) has been proposed to discriminate fertile …

Predicting the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is
one main goal of the present research on assisted reproduction. To understand whether …
