Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Sperm motility. Timepoint: Assessments of sperm motility at the beginning of the study and after incubation in both intervention and control groups. Method of measurement: Optical microscope.;Mitochondrial membrane potential of sperm. Timepoint: Measurement of mitochondrial membrane potential after incubation in both intervention and control groups. Method of measurement: Jc- 1, Flow cytometry.;Sperm DNA fragmentation. Timepoint: Measurement of sperm DNA fragmentation after incubation in both intervention and control groups. Method of measurement: TUNEL method.;Fertilization Rate. Timepoint: 24 hours after ICSI procedure. Method of measurement: View of 2 pronucleus with invert microscope.;Quality of embryo. Timepoint: Three days post-oocyte retrieval. Method of measurement: Using a three-point scoring system including fragmentation rate, number of blastomere, shape and size.
