COMMENTS
Sperm DNA damage can be defined as any chemical change in the normal structure o
f the DNA. Among these changes, sperm DNA fragmentation (sDF) is one of the most
 common disturbances affecting the genetic material in the form of single or dou
ble strand breaks. sDF may be triggered by different processes, including the de
fective packaging of the DNA during spermatogenesis, and processes of cell death
 and oxidative stress which may be associated with several pathological and envi
ronmental conditions.
