Correlation Between Defects in Chromatin Condensation of Human Spermatozoa Stained by Aniline Blue and Semen Characteristics

24 Apr 2009

Abstract excerpt

Summary: Human sperm heads which present disturbances of chromatin condensation are stained by acidic aniline, blue. To determine whether the proportion of unstained heads, i.e. with well condensed chromatin, can be considered as an index of sperm quality, a study was undertaken in 157 men during an infertility evaluation. In addition to the usual sperm characteristics, the percentages of unstained heads and of...
