Clinical Study Title:
Sperm oxidative stress and the effect of an oral vitamin E and selenium
supplement on semen quality in infertile men.
| Plain
English Summary: |
In
this study, the use of vitamin E and selenium were
examined to determine if it has an effect on sperm.
A total of 54 men who were infertile participated
in this study. They voluntarily gave a sperm sample
to be analyzed in this study. Half of the participants
were given a daily supplement of vitamin E and selenium,
while the other participants were given daily supplements
of vitamin B. The study lasted for a total of 3 months.
Those participants who were using the vitamin E and
selenium supplement had sperm that showed an improvement
in motility, while those taking vitamin B did not
have this effect. This suggests that the use of vitamin
E and selenium can help to improve sperm quality,
especially for men who are infertile. |
