Semen parameters of varicocele men have been usually suspected to exhibit higher levels
of abnormalities including DNA fragmentation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptotic …

Purpose To determine whether there is a homogeneous reduction of sperm DNA
fragmentation (SDF) in sperm samples recovered from the MACS procedure, compared to …

Purpose: DNA fragmentation in spermatozoa has been associated with poor semen quality,
low fertilization rates, impaired preimplantation development, and high miscarriage rates …

Background. Varicocele is associated with high levels of DNA damage in spermatozoa due
to oxidative stress and elevated levels of sperm DNA fragmentation, which has been …

Recent studies have evaluated the use of magnetic‐activated cell sorting (MACS) to reduce
apoptotic spermatozoa and improve sperm quality. However, the efficiency of using MACS …

The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of magnetic-activated cell sorting
(MACS) in sperm preparation for male subjects with a sperm DNA fragmentation index …

We evaluated the effect of varicocelectomy on semen parameters and levels of sperm DNA
damage in infertile men. A total of 75 infertile men with varicocele and 40 fertile men …

Varicocele is one of the most common causes of low semen quality, which is reflected in
high percentages of sperm cells with fragmented DNA. While varicocelectomy is usually …

Magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) can be used to separate apoptotic sperm with high
proportions of fragmented DNA from the rest, thus improving the overall quality of the …

Sperm DNA fragmentation can have negative consequences in clinical outcomes of couples
undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). Sperm separation techniques are …
