What is it about?
Oral glucose supplementation of 5 or 10 g/L of drinking water significantly increased semen volume, sperm motility, sperm concentration, live sperm percentage, total sperm output, and total live sperm output and significantly decreased abnormal sperm percentage as compared to the control group. Addition of glucose at 5 g/L water significantly increased blood plasma total protein, albumin, glucose, alanine aminotransferase, and testosterone hormone compared to the control group.

Why is it important?
Oral glucose supplementation of 5 or 10 g/L of drinking water significantly increased semen volume, sperm motility, sperm concentration, live sperm percentage, total sperm output, and total live sperm output and significantly decreased abnormal sperm percentage as compared to the control group. Addition of glucose at 5 g/L water significantly increased blood plasma total protein, albumin, glucose, alanine aminotransferase, and testosterone hormone compared to the control group.
Perspectives
This new findings indicate that oral glucose supplementation of 5 g/L of drinking water significantly improved semen quality and blood plasma total protein, albumin, glucose, alanine aminotransferase, and testosterone hormone compared to the control group.
