Objectives: The aim of the study was to examine sperm chromosomes from infertile males with teratozoospermia.
Design: Basic research study
Materials And Methods: Spermatozoa were obtained from infertile males with teratozoospermia. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection was used to inject human spermatozoa into mouse oocytes in order to examine sperm chromosomes.
Results: Chromosomes of spermatozoa obtained from 6 infertile teratozoospermic and 1 fertile normozoospermic males were investigated. The mean frequency of structural chromosome aberrations in amorphous, motile spermatozoa was similar to that of morphologically normal sperm (9 vs. 7.7%). The structural aberrations found in amorphous, immotile spermatozoa reached 93% and revealed severity was significant.
Conclusions: Teratozoospermia per se did not increase the frequency of structural chromosome aberrations in sperm. Severe chromosomal damage was revealed when immotile spermatozoa were injected into oocytes by ICSI.

The prevalence of sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) is significantly higher in males with infertility, which is often associated with oligozoospermia and hypospermia. It can also occur in patients with infertility who have normal conventional semen indicators. The etiologies involve aberrations in sperm maturation, dysregulated apoptotic processes, and heightened levels of oxidative stress.

Introduction: Mammalian sperm within a single ejaculate exhibit significant heterogeneity, with only a subset possessing the molecular characteristics required for successful fertilization. Identifying the defining traits of these high-fertility sperm remains an open question.
Objectives: To elucidate the molecular markers and mechanisms underlying the fertilization potential of sperm in both mice and humans, with a focus on the role of D-mannose.
