Trans-fatty acid levels in sperm are associated with sperm concentration among men from an infertility clinic
Abstract
We measured the sperm fatty acid composition using gas chromatography in anonymized semen samples of 33 men undergoing infertility evaluation at an academic medical center. Trans-fatty acids were present in human sperm and were related inversely to sperm concentration (r = -0.44).
