Comparison of the semen parameters and SCSA result in total population, Normozoospermic individuals and individuals with abnormal semen parameters before and after antioxidant therapy. N = Number of individuals; * = Considered as statically significant; SCSA: Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay.

	Total individuals N = 485			<Normozoospermic individuals N = 180			<Abnormal semen parameters N = 350
