Abstract: BACKGROUND & AIM: To assess whether the modified SCGE can be used in genetic toxicology. MATERIAL AND METHODS: To detect DNA damage induced by oxidant peroxide in human sperm in vitro and methyl methanesulfonate in mouse in vivo by using the modified SCGE. RESULTS: The results showed high relationship correlation among the head DNA percentage,comet length and the tail moment.Dose response relationship existed. CONCLUSION: The modified SCGE could be used to detect sperm DNA damage.

Key words: sperm, DNA, SCGE
