Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the clinical role of standard sperm diagnosis parameters (sperm concentration, motility, morphology) as well as aniline blue staining of histones, 8-OHdG, TUNEL assay were performed on semen samples in infertile men with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT). Thirty-two infertile and ten proven fertile men were included in the study. Chromatin condensation sperm in infertile men was significantly lower compared to the fertile men (p<0.0001). Age, sperm concentration, morphology and motility were significantly negatively correlated with chromatin condensation (p<0.05). However, no significant correlations among the chromatin condensation, SDF and sperm DNA damage were detected in terms of 8-OHdG concentration.
