Oxidative damage to DNA in human spermatozoa does not preclude pronucleus formation at intracytoplasmic sperm injection
1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
We present the first evidence that genetically damaged human spermatozoa are able to form normal pronuclei in oocytes after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a cause of chromatin and DNA damage is well recognized. The same class of molecule can be found in the semen of males with severe infertility, who remained infertile until the advent of ICSI. In this study...
