4. FIGURE 3
Graphic representation of the relationship between fresh and capacitated DNA fragmentation and zygote patterns. (A) Correlation of the number of pronucleus of each zygote with DNA fragmentation (PN = pronucleus). (B) DNA fragmentation is represented according with the PN patterns. (C) Regarding pronuclei size, we compare DNA fragmentation in those of equal or very similar size and those of different sizes. Asterisks (*) denote a significant increase of DNA fragmentation on the type IV pattern compared with the other three patterns (P<.05).

6. FIGURE 4
Graphic representation of the scoring of the embryo on day 5 and day 6 and the association with DNA fragmentation. Degree of development on day 5 (A) and day 6 (B). Asterisks (*) denote a significant decrease of fresh DNA fragmentation on the expanded blastocyst pattern compared with blocked or morula stage embryos (P<.05) as well as a decrease in capacitated DNA fragmentation comparing a blastocyst, with its initial cavity, with an expanded blastocyst. CM = compact morula; EaB = early blastocyst; CB = blastocyst with initial cavity; EB = expanded blastocyst; HB = hatching blastocyst.

7. FIGURE 5
Good quality blastocysts were classified as those where the trophoectoderm and inner cell mass (ICM) were complete and with compact and high enough cells, respectively. A comparison of DNA fragmentation of these blastocysts with the rest of the cohort on day 6 was performed.

8. FIGURE 6
Graphic representation of DNA fragmentation in raw and capacitated sperm samples used in the cycles. Samples were divided into two groups: pregnancy or not in the proper cycle. Data were combined and expressed as the mean ± SEM. No statistical differences were found between both groups as compared using the student’s t-test.
