Table 3. Comparative evaluation of DGC and single selection of spermatozoa on SDF between two morphologies.
aStatistical analysis was done based on repeated measures ANOVA. P<0.05 is considered statistically significant. Bonferroni was used to adjust for multiple comparisons within each group.
*Processed samples: Semen samples after DGC, #Single selection: Population of spermatozoa cells selected under ×400 magnification by an embryologist.
SDF: sperm DNA fragmentation, DGC: density gradient centrifugation.
