Abstract:
It is established that sperm DNA veracity is indispensable in fertilization and normal embryo and fetal growth. Custom semen analysis gives an estimated evaluation of the functional proficiency of spermatozoa, but does not always reproduce the quality of sperm DNA. Therefore, the assessment of sperm DNA integrity, in adding to routine sperm parameters, could add further in a row on the quality of spermatozoa and reproductive potential of males. The purpose of this study was to conclude the levels of sperm DNA damage in fertile and infertile males and its correlation with semen parameters and various related factors mentioned below. The data suggest that sperm DNA damages in infertile males is significantly higher than fertile males and sperms with abnormal morphology and low levels of motility has more abnormal DNA damages than motile and normal sperms.
