Spermatozoa.abnormal chromatin in Semen by Flow cytometry (FC)

Spermatozoa.abn chromatin NFr Smn FC

Definition

  • Sperm DNA damage can be defined as any chemical change in the normal structure of the DNA. Among these changes, sperm DNA fragmentation (sDF) is one of the most common disturbances affecting the genetic material in the form of single or double strand breaks. sDF may be triggered by different processes, including the defective packaging of the DNA during spermatogenesis, and processes of cell death and oxidative stress which may be associated with several pathological and environmental conditions.
