title: Folic acid levels in blood and seminal plasma of normo- and oligospermic patients prior and following folic acid treatment.
abstract: Folic acid was estimated in blood and seminal plasma of normo- and oligospermic men. Following folic acid administration (10 mg TID for 30 days), the levels in blood and semen increased. However, sperm counts, motility and DNA content of spermatozoa were not affected.
