The effect of smoking and varicocele on human sperm acrosin activity and acrosome reaction

1 Dec 1995

Abstract excerpt

Smoking and varicocele are frequent findings in the medical history and physical examination of patients attending andrological outpatient departments. However, data about their influence on human semen parameters, such as sperm concentration and motility, are contradictory. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine sperm function (acrosin activity and induction of the acrosome reaction) in smokers (n =...
