Free centrifuge sorting method for high-count sperm preparation improves biological characteristics of human spermatozoa and clinical outcome: A sibling oocytes study.

Sperm processing for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) aims to separate immotile and debris from the motile spermatozoa in the semen. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of free centrifuge sorting (FCS) approach based on a combination of rheotaxis and swim-up on sperm biological characteristics and ICSI clinical outcomes. Each semen sample was splitted into two equal parts for 67 ICSI cycles with donation oocytes.

Protective effect of vitamin E on sperm parameters, chromatin quality, and DNA fragmentation in mice treated with different doses of ethanol: An experimental study.

Background: Excessive consumption of alcohol induces an increase in oxidative stress production and can lead to detrimental effects on the male reproductive system.

Objective: To evaluate the possible protective effects of coadministration of vitamin (vit) E on the detrimental changes in the sperm quality of mice administered ethanol.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-four BALB/c mice were categorized into nine groups (n = 6/each).
