Increased oxidative deoxyribonucleic acid damage in the spermatozoa of infertile male patients
H Kodama, R Yamaguchi, J Fukuda, H Kasai… - Fertility and sterility, 1997 - Elsevier
Objective: To investigate whether a high level of oxidative DNA damage in spermatozoa
occurs in infertile male patients and to examine the influence of antioxidant treatments on
the levels of this damage. Design: Controlled clinical study and uncontrolled pilot study.
Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Akita University School of Medicine.
Patient (s): Nineteen infertile male and 17 control patients. Intervention (s): The levels of
oxidative DNA damage in spermatozoa of infertile male and control patients were compared …
