AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

1. To assess following parameters in infertile and fertile males:

 Sperm DNA Integrity


 Protamine-1 (P1), Protamine-2 (P2) levels and their ratio (P1/P2)
 Seminal Oxidant - Malondialdehyde (MDA), Nitric Oxide (NO) and Total
Oxidant Status (TOS)
 Antioxidants - Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) and Zinc (Zn)
 Oxidative Stress Index (OSI)
 Sperm Characters-Sperm Count, Sperm Motility and Sperm Morphology

2. To study correlation between sperm DNA integrity, protamine-1, protamine-2


their ratio, oxidative stress, antioxidant status and various semen characters in
infertile males.

Hypothesis
 Ho: - There is no difference and correlation between sperm DNA integrity,
protamine-1, protamine-2 their ratio, oxidative stress, antioxidant status
and various semen characters in fertile and infertile males.
 H1:- There is difference and correlation between sperm DNA integrity,
protamine-1, protamine-2 their ratio, oxidative stress, antioxidant status
and various semen characters in fertile and infertile males.
