Abstract
Changes in the levels of fructose, sialic acid, ascorbic acid, cholesterol and acid and alkaline phosphatases in the semen were studied in eight azoospermic volunteers during administration of testosterone propionate over a four week period. In order of responsiveness, elevations were observed in the levels of acid phosphatase, fructose, sialic acid and alkaline phosphatase during androgen therapy. No changes were seen in the levels of cholesterol and ascorbic acid.Entities:
