title: [In vitro effects of glycolytic substrates and some nucleotides (ATP, ADP, AMP, cyclic AMP) on the motility of spermatozoids of human sperm, asthenospermic or normal].
abstract: The effects of several drugs upon normal and asthenospermic human sperms were tested: cyclic AMP significantly and constantly increased the rate of motile spermatozoa in most samples having an initial motility rate between 20 and 60%. ATP kept up high the motility rate, particularly in sperm displaying the highest initial motility. Other drugs (glycolytic substrates, pyruvate, ADP, AMP, caffeine had inconstant effects upon a few sperms. None drug was efficient upon sperms with initial motility rate lower than 20%; this was probably due to important lesions of the locomotor apparatus of the spermatozoa, as shown by electron microscopy investigations.
