Abstract: | Baseline DNA damage in spermatozoa from fertile and infertilemen was compared using a modified alkali single cell gel electrophoresis(comet) assay. Semen from normozoospermic fertile, normozoospermicinfertile and asthenozoospermic infertile (World Health Organizationcriteria, 1992) samples were studied. No significant differencewas observed in levels of baseline damage between the threegroups. A median value for baseline damage of |
