Level of DNA-fragmentation Before and After Antioxidant-based Therapies in Male Infertility
Sponsor: Janna Pape
Summary
The investigators will investigate the effect of antioxidants and lifestyle factors on the level of oxidative stress. As oxidative stress cannot be directly measured, it will be approximated by the DNA fragmentation index (DFI) which reflects the level of DNA damage in sperm caused by oxidative stress.
