Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To measure folate levels in seminal plasma from smokers and nonsmokers and to evaluate relationships between seminal plasma folate levels and both folate nutriture and semen quality measures. DESIGN: Observational study. SETTING: United States Department of Agriculture, Western Human Nutrition Research Center, Presidio of San Francisco, San Francisco, California. PATIENT(S): Healthy male smokers (n=24)...
