Summary statistics of semen parameters, SDF, and ORP before and after the treatment with FH PRO for Men in idiopathic infertile patients having high ORP and SDF levels.
| Parameters | Before Treatment | n | After Treatment | n | Percent Change (Mean ± SEM) | p Value Wilcoxon Test |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sperm concentration (106/mL) | 19.9 ± 16.8 (13.0; 10.0–24.0) |
46 | 30.4 ± 25.9 (24.5; 12.0–42.0) |
46 | 119.6 ± 1.9 | 0.0008 |
| Total motility (%) | 25.4 ± 12.8 (25.0; 15.0–30.0) |
46 | 32.7 ± 18.8 (32.5; 15.0–50.0) |
46 | 53.0 ± 18.5 | 0.0089 |
| Progressive motility (%) | 0.5 ± 1.9 (0.0; 0.0–0.0) |
46 | 5.7 ± 8.2 (0.0; 0.0–10.0) |
46 | 48.9 ± 12.5 | 0.0002 |
| Normal morphology (%) | 1.8 ± 1.2 (2.0; 1.0–2.0) |
46 | 2.9 ± 2.1 (3.0; 1.0–4.0) |
46 | 88.6 ± 21.7 | 0.0026 |
| SDF (%) | 56.3 ± 16.5 (54.0; 43.0–70.0) |
42 | 44.0 ± 20.3 (40.0; 28.0–59.0) |
42 | −20.5 ± 4.8 | 0.0002 |
| ORP (mV/106 sperm/mL) | 6.7 ± 6.6 (4.4; 2.8–7.5) |
46 | 3.7 ± 8.9 (1.9; 0.9–3.0) |
46 | −24.8 ± 23.3 | <0.0001 |
ORP ≥1.34 mV/106 sperm/mL and SDF >30% are considered as high. SDF: sperm DNA fragmentation, ORP: oxidation-reduction potential.
