OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between semen parameters and sperm DNA
damage. DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SETTING: Andrology clinic. PATIENT (S): Two hundred …

The alkaline Comet assay has shown high diagnostic value to determine male reproductive
health and prognostic ability to predict ART success. Here, spermatozoon was analysed in …

The present study was carried out on semen samples of human fertile and infertile subjects,
teratozoospermics (TZs) and idiopathics (IDs), with neat semen and sperm prepared by …

BACKGROUND: Although the comet assay has potential value for measuring DNA damage
in large epidemiological human sperm studies, it is impractical to perform the assay daily on …

Objective To explore potential relationships between sperm DNA integrity and both semen
parameters and clinical outcomes. Methods Semen analysis of 498 samples was performed …

BACKGROUND: Standard semen parameters have proven poor at predicting the outcomes
of IVF treatment cycles. As recent studies suggest that the male genome may play an …

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

Abstract STUDY QUESTION Do the Comet parameters of the proportions of sperm with low
or high DNA damage improve the power of the test in the diagnosis of male infertility and/or …

DNA fragmentation is considered an important parameter of semen quality, and of significant
value as a predictor of male fertility. Poor quality chromatin is closely associated with, and …

The literature contains conflicting evidence regarding the existence of DNA damage in
spermatozoa from infertile male patients. To examine this phenomenon, we have studied …
