Predictive value of oxidative stress testing in semen for sperm DNA fragmentation assessed by sperm chromatin dispersion test

ConclusionThe evaluation of motORP seems a more promising parameter than ORP normalized for sperm concentration for the prediction of SDF and normozoospermia. However, even if ORP and SDF are inter ‐related, they measure independent sperm functions and one test cannot replace the other in the evaluation of sperm function defects.
