Objective: To compare the DNA fragmentation of semen samples established by terminal deoxynucleotide transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) after incubation in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) for different time periods. Design: Comparative prospective study. Setting: Center for reproductive medicine. Patient(s): Twenty-seven semen samples from infertile patients. Intervention(s): None. Methods: Semen analysis and DNA fragmentation assays (TUNEL) were performed. Two groups were established: A) normal TUNEL (<20%); and B) Abnormal TUNEL (>= 20%). TUNEL was performed in neat (TO), postgradient (TG), 1-hour postgradient (TG1), and 2-hour postgradient (TG2) samples and in TG2 samples after 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 hours of incubation in PVP or HA. Result(s): TUNEL levels were significantly reduced after gradient separation compared with neat values. In group A, TUNEL levels were significantly higher in the TG2 + 1.5 hours in PVP and HA samples but did not reach abnormal levels. In group B, TUNEL levels were significantly higher in the TG2 + 1 hour in PVP and HA samples. Conclusion(s): Sperm DNA fragmentation significantly decreased after centrifugation gradient, regardless of the initial levels of the sample. Samples with TUNEL >= 20% were more susceptible to a significant increase in DNA fragmentation over time, with similar increases being observed over time for samples that were incubated in HA or PVP. These data may be relevant for sperm preparation for intracytoplasmic sperm injection. (c) 2013 by American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
