Samples included in this study were non-normally distributed (non-parametric) according to the values of the skewedness test, Kurtosis test, Z-value and Shapiro test. Data were presented as Mean ± SEM and min-max. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to determine if there are statistically significant differences between all groups and Mann-Whitney test was used to compare between two groups. OAT, Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia; OA, Oligoasthenospermia; OT, oligoteratozoospermia, p<0.05 was considered as significant values.
