Values are presented as mean ± SD The Kruskal-Wallis H (a) and One-way ANOVA (b) tests were used to determine if there are statistically significant differences between all groups and Normospermia group based on the distribution of all groups. OAT, Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia; OA, Oligoasthenospermia; OT, oligoteratozoospermia, *p<0.05, **p<0.01 and ***p<0.001 were considered as significant values.
