The marker of alkyl DNA base damage, N7-methylguanine, is associated with semen quality in men
Abstract Sperm DNA contains a range of DNA base damage that can arise, in part, from exposure to methylating agents. However, the effects are not fully characterized and so the aim of this study was to investigate associations between semen quality and the levels of N7-methyldeoxyguanosine (N7-MedG)...
