Abstract :
The objective of this study was to evaluate the application of freeze-drying technique on human sperm preservation and to determine the influence of freeze-drying process and 7 days storage under 4° C temperature on human sperm DNA integrity. The Posttest Only Control Group Design was used in this study. Population was sperm of adult male over 20 years old. The objective of this study was to evaluate the application of freeze-drying technique on human sperm preservation and to determine the influence of freeze-drying process and 7 days under 4° C storage temperature on human sperm DNA integrity. Population of adult male sperm was over 20 years old. The sperm should be in normozoospermia category and was obtained with consideration on WHO method. The sample size was 12, obtained with simple random sampling method. Comet assay was used to determine DNA integrity before freeze-drying, immediately after freeze-drying and 7 days storage after freeze-drying. The sample size was 12, obtained with method of simple random sampling. Comet assay was used to determine DNA integrity before freeze-drying, immediately after freeze-drying and 7 days after freeze-drying storage. Manova was used to test the hypothesis. The results were : no significant difference in DNA integrity between fresh group and freeze-dried group (p>0,05); there was very significant difference in DNA integrity between fresh group or freeze-dried group compared with freeze-dried +7 days storage under 4° C temperature (p<0,01).
