Changes in DNA fragmentation during sperm preparation for intracytoplasmic sperm injection over time

Objective To compare the DNA fragmentation of semen samples established by terminal deoxynucleotide transferase–mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) after incubation in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) for different time periods. Design Comparative prospective study. Setting Ce...

Zusammenfassung:Objective To compare the DNA fragmentation of semen samples established by terminal deoxynucleotide transferase–mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) after incubation in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) for different time periods. Design Comparative prospective study. Setting Center for reproductive medicine. Patient(s) Twenty-seven semen samples from infertile patients. Intervention(s) None. Methods Semen analysis and DNA fragmentation assays (TUNEL) were performed. Two groups were established: A) normal TUNEL (
