Dynamic assessment of human sperm DNA damage I: the effect of seminal plasma-sperm co-incubation after ejaculation

ConclusionsCo-incubation of semen samples in seminal plasma after ejaculation increases iatrogenic sperm damage. This effect is statistically significant after 2  h of co-incubation. Subsequently, for ART purposes seminal plasma must be quickly removed after ejaculation–liquefaction, to avoid a higher susceptibility of sperm DNA towards fragmentation.
