Conrado Avendaño, M.Sc., Anahí Franchi, Ph.D., Steven Taylor, Ph.D., Mahmood Morshedi, Ph.D., Silvina Bocca, M.D., Ph.D., Sergio Oehninger, M.D., Ph.D.  Fertility and Sterility  Volume 91, Issue 4, Pages (April 2009) DOI: /j.fertnstert Copyright © 2009 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Incidence of spermatozoa with DNA fragmentation (TUNEL positive) in the fertile (FER), subfertile (SF) and infertile (INF) groups. A significant difference was found between FER and INF groups (∗P<.05).

3 Figure 2 Representative photomicrographs of the simultaneous assessment of normal sperm morphology and DNA fragmentation following swim up separation (left side: phase contrast; right side: TUNEL fluorescence). A: a normal spermatozoon (N) with DNA fragmentation; note three morphologically abnormal spermatozoa without DNA fragmentation; B: a normal spermatozoon (N) with DNA fragmentation; note several amorphous spermatozoa without DNA fragmentation; C: two normal spermatozoa (N), one of them with DNA fragmentation. Inset: photomicrograph at lower magnification showing the two normal spermatozoa in the same field.
