Table 1 Correlation coefficients and the corresponding P-values between sperm chromatin protamination and condensation, and DNA damage (both global and double-strand DNA damage)
From: Chromatin condensation but not DNA integrity of pig sperm is greater in the sperm-rich fraction
Parameter | Correlation coefficient (95% C.I.) | P-value |
|---|---|---|
Sperm Chromatin Protamination | ||
Global DNA damage | −0.688 (−0.878 to −0.313) | 0.002* |
Double-strand DNA damage | 0.377 (−124 to 0.725) | 0.123 |
Sperm Chromatin Condensation | ||
Global DNA damage | −0.515 (−0.797 to −0.048) | 0.029* |
Double-strand DNA damage | 0.049 (−0.440 to 0.515) | 0.848 |
