Objective: To evaluate the protective effects of oxidative DNA damage by adding antioxidants: ascorbate, catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in human semen samples undergoing cryopreservation procedure.
Methods: Semen sample form 30 fertile men were mixed with modified cryoprotectant and divided into six groups according to the category and concentration of antioxidants: ascorbate 300 micromol/L, ascorbate 600 micromol/L, CAT 200 U/ml, CAT 400 U/ml, SOD 200 U/ml, and SOD 400 U/ml. Comet assay was conducted to measure the percentage of comet cells, and the nuclear DNA damaged parameters: tail DNA percentage (TD%) and Olive tail moment (OTM).
