Varicocele decreases epididymal neutral α‐glucosidase and is associated with alteration of nuclear DNA and plasma membrane in spermatozoa

21 Oct 2013

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between a marker of epididymal function and both the fragmentation of the sperm nucleus and the integrity and maturity of the sperm membrane in patients with or without varicocele. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Semen samples were obtained from men with varicocele grades II and III (n = 60) and from a control group with zoospermia defined as normal (n = 30). Samples were evaluated by...
