Effect of Ultraviolet Radiation on DNA fragmentation of Human Spermatozoa

Brinda Poojary, Varsha Andhare

Abstract :

  Ultraviolet radiations have shown to have deleterious effects on DNA. The present study was aimed to observe the effect of UV–A radiations on sperm DNA. 30 semen samples from normozoospermic men were collected and processed. Each harvested sample was divided into two aliquots, one control and one test. The test samples were subjected to ultraviolet radiations for an hour and then tested for DNA fragmentation. The test samples showed more number of sperms with fragmented DNA compared to control samples. The results were significant at P = 0.05 level of significance.
