Abstract

We correlated the activity of alpha-glucosidase in seminal plasma with the motility and differential motility of sperm. Significant positive correlations were found between the alpha-glucosidase activity and both motility and the percentage sperm with good forward progression. This supports the use of alpha-glucosidase in semen as a marker of epididymal function and specifically of the development of motility.
