title: Seminal plasma fructose and glucose in normal and pathological conditions.
abstract: A total number of ninety four semen samples were analysed which included normozoospermia (39), oligozoospermia (6), oligoasthenozoospermia (10), asthenozoospermia (15) and azoospermia (24). A positive correlation (r = 0.344) was existing between sperm count and motility in normozoospermia. Seminal plasma was estimated for fructose (94) and glucose (73). It was found that there was a statistical difference between the values of oligozoospermia and all other groups studied for fructose. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.394) was existing between percentage of motility of spermatozoa and fructose in normozoospermia showing that fructose is very essential for increased number of motile spermatozoa. Likewise a relationship (r = 0.451) was seen between sperm count and glucose in normal. This gives an impression that both these are regulated by one source.
