Background: Sperm DNA fragmentation is known as an important cause of male infertility.The influence of sperm DNA damage on reproductive potential has been subject of many studiesindicating various results and remaining the subject controversial. In this study, we investigateddifferences of the semen parameters and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome accordingto sperm DNA fragmentation levels (DFLs) of patients.Materials and Methods: The DFLs were determined by Halosperm, a new improved spermchromatin dispersion (SCD) test. Patients were grouped as low DNA fragmentation group (LFG≤30%) and high fragmentation group (HFG >30%).Results: Our analysis showed that semen parameters including concentration of untreated spermand motility of prepared semen were low in HGF, whereas other parameters were not different.Sperm DNA fragmentation levels decreased in both groups after semen preparation by densitygradient technique.Conclusion: No difference was detected on ICSI outcomes (fertilization, embryo development,embryo cleavage, embryo quality and pregnancy rates) between two group. |
