Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Epoxide hydrolases are involved in detoxifying and excreting the environmental chemicals, which are associated with decreased semen quality and male infertility. We hypothesized that polymorphisms in epoxide hydrolases may be associated with risk of oligozoospermia and asthenospermia. DESIGN AND METHODS: In this study, 468 fertile controls and 672 idiopathic male infertile patients were recruited....
