| Abstract | ||
| The aim of the present study is to determine the sperm DNA content in subfertile persons and correlate it with sperm motility. A random sample of 64 subfertile males attending the Institute for Embryo Research and Infertility Treatment, University of Baghdad , were enrolled in this study through years 2004-2005 . The patients age ranged 20-45 years and their samples were assessed for sperm motility by direct light microscopy. DNA content (µg / ml) in sperm was estimated using a microchemical spectrophotometric method and data were classified into three groups according to sperm motility percent (>60% , 20-60% ,and <20 % ). The results show that data of percent motility of the three groups were statistically of significant difference ( P<0.01) . The sperm DNA content (µg / ml) showed a non significant positive correlation ( P>0.05 ), in the normal and severe asthenospermic groups and negative in the asthenospermic group. No statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) of sperm DNA content between the three groups was obtained .It can be concluded that sperm motility is not related to D N A level in subfertile males. | ||
