“…Sperm DNA fragmentation (sDF) is a common alteration of paternal genetic material consisting of single-and double-DNA strand breaks, mainly occurring in subfertile subjects [1] and attracting attention as a potential cause of paternal anomalies transmitted to offspring [2]. Several exogenous factors could provoke sDF, including uncorrected lifestyle habits, advanced paternal age, pathologies, genital tract infections, exposure to environmental toxicants, and exposure to chemo-and radiotherapies [3]. Protamination failure, abortive apoptosis and oxidative stress represent the main endogenous mechanisms responsible for DNA damage [4][5][6].…”
