INTRODUCTION: The lipid composition of spermatozoa plays an important role for
successful fertilization. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In the present study, we analyzed the
fatty acid (FA) composition of spermatozoa of normozoospermic, asthenozoospermic,
oligozoospermic and oligoasthenozoospermic men. RESULTS: Spermatozoa from
asthenozoospermic (P< 0.01), oligozoospermic (P< 0.05) and oligoasthenozoospermic men
(P< 0.05) had lower levels of docosahexaenoic acid (22: 6w3, DHA) than those from …
