Background Strong evidence has suggested an important role of telomeres in meiosis,
fertilization, and embryo development. Purpose To determine if sperm telomere length (STL) …

Previous studies have shown that both density gradient centrifugation (DGC) and swim up
(SU) procedures can select spermatozoa with longer telomeres for assisted reproduction …

The ends of eukaryotic chromosomes contain specialized chromatin structures called
telomeres, the length of which plays a key role in early human embryonic development …

Purpose Variations in sperm telomere length (STL) have been associated with altered
sperm parameters, poor embryo quality, and lower pregnancy rates, but for …

Background Telomeres are particular sequences of DNA located at the end of the eukaryotic
chromosomes that are essential for genome integrity. Telomere length in spermatozoa …

STUDY QUESTION What is the relationship between telomere length in sperm and early
embryonic development in in vitro fertilization (IVF)? SUMMARY ANSWER Sperm telomere …

ABSTRACT STUDY QUESTION Can differences in DNA isolation alter assessment of sperm
telomere length (spTL) and do they account for conflicting results in the literature on spTL …

Background Many studies have demonstrated that lifestyle factors can affect sperm quality
and fertility. Sperm telomere length (STL) has been reported as potential biomarker or sperm …

Background Telomeres are essential for the integrity of chromosome ends during cell
division and their involvement in different processes linked to aging has been established …

Recent studies have reported shorter sperm telomere length (STL) in men with idiopathic
infertility. The aim of this study was to measure STL in semen samples from men to evaluate …
